Ki-1 (CD30) positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is all uncommon malignancy, which may present with nodal as well as extra-nodal disease Primary skeletal muscle Ki-1 CD30 positive ALCL is all even rarer event with few cases reported in the literature and only some with published cytomorphologic features An 83-Year-old woman underwent a fine needle aspiration (FNA) of a psoas muscle mass Smears demonstrated a predominantly discohesive population of large pleomorphic cells The nuclei were hypechromatic and lobulated with often multinucleation Nucleoli were prominent lit a subset of cells Cytoplasmic vacuolization was also present No lympho-glandular bodies were identified A cytodiagnosis of malignant cells favoring metastatic melanoma vs poorly differentiated carcinoma was rendered Morphologic and immunohistochemical features later revealed a primary psoas muscle Ki-1 (CD30) positive ALCL with negative staining for anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK) Cytologic features of ALCL mimic epithelial neoplasms, sarcomas, melanoma and other lymphomas Although rare, ALCL should be a diagnostic consideration when discohesive pleomorphic malignant cells are encountered on FNA of a muscle neoplasm Diagn Cytopathol 2010, 38 208-212 (C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc
