Malignant phyllodes tumor with chondrosarcomatous differentiation: report of a case with cytological presentation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bile duct brushing (BDB) cytology, for the characterization of bile duct strictures, can be challenging to interpret when associated with a stent. Our study aims to identify the cytologic criteria for the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma in BDBs in the presence of a stent. METHODS:A database search (January 2010...
