Epithelioid angiosarcoma: a neoplasm with potential diagnostic challenges.

abstract：:Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA) was performed on a breast lump in a 66-year-old female, clinically thought to be a carcinoma. The cytological findings were reported as suspicious of malignancy. Subsequent histological examination showed a tumour macroscopically and microscopically identical with six other cases ...
