Fine needle aspiration cytology for two cases of ameloblastoma—Key highlights and diagnostic features

Objective Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a valuable, noninvasive technique for head and neck pathology diagnosis. The objective of case images was to highlight the utility of FNAC for diagnosing suspected cases of ameloblastoma. Method FNAC smears of suspected cases of ameloblastoma were evaluated using their cellular and stromal features. Results Cellular features and background of smears exhibited characteristics of ameloblastoma. Predominant features included clusters of ameloblast‐like cells and spindle cells in a myxoid background. Conclusion Careful evaluation of FNAC helps diagnose ameloblastomas and must be considered a vital diagnostic tool. The article describes the utility of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosing ameloblastoma and emphasises the need for comprehensive evaluation of the cellular and stromal components. FNAC images depict features that enable cytological diagnosis of ameloblastoma.
