Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast: fine-needle aspiration biopsy and histologic findings.

abstract：:We report the cytomorphologic features of 16 fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of seminoma obtained from 16 male patients. The aspirates included two primary gonadal tumors (one occurring in a cryptorchid testis), two primary mediastinal tumors, and 12 metastases (two with unknown primaries). Analysis of the aspir...
