Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast: fine-needle aspiration cytology of seven cases.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Liquid-based cytology (LBC) testing induces morphologic changes due to the use of specific fixatives and preparation techniques, and the cytologies of effusions determined in this manner differ morphologically from those of conventional cytopreparation (CCP) smear methods. We compared the cytologic features ...
