Cytologic diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei: common and uncommon causes.

abstract：:We report the findings from an aspiration biopsy and resection of a chordoma-like tumorous mass in the wall of the thorax of a 36-yr-old man with immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and cytogenetic studies. The 4-cm oval tumor was an incidental finding on physical examination, and no other lesions were identified af...
