Background
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is considered an excellent technique for documenting metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of FNA in diagnosing metastatic NETs to the liver and determining the grade and origin of these metastases.
Methods
Our laboratory information system was searched from 1997 to 2016 to identify all cases of metastatic NETs...
A 52-year-old woman developed an infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast 16 years after being treated for comedocarcinoma of the left breast. Although the tumor was high grade with lymphatic space invasion and incompletely excised, the patient declined adjunctive therapy. Within 2 years, she developed metastasis to supraclavicular lymph nodes, which was diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology.
