Fine-needle aspiration cytology of the breast in a case with abundant acellular calcific material indicative of soft-tissue calcinosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is highly accurate for detecting breast malignancies, concerns remain among cytopathologists about false-positive and false-negative diagnoses. Cell block (CB) preparations have been advocated by some cytopathologists as one of the methods to improve and consol...
