Concomitant neuroendocrine tumor and gastrointestinal stromal tumor in a duodenal fine needle aspiration: A cytologic clue for neurofibromatosis type 1.

abstract：:Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a chronic autoimmune bullous disease characterized by the formation of suprabasal cleavage and acantholysis. As this disease almost always affects the oral mucosa, conventional cytological smears of oral lesions can be used for the initial diagnosis of PV. We report two cases of PV that were...
