本文报告两例原发性气管腺样囊性癌，其细胞学诊断是从气管冲洗液中取得。腺样囊性癌很容易与更常见的呼吸道小细胞肿瘤相混淆;然而，如果记住鉴别特征，可以在细胞学材料中进行这种区分。差异特征包括缺乏核成型的细胞的粘性、球形、蜂窝状排列，具有球形结构的三维细胞群，以及具有囊性空间的均匀细胞簇，一些含有粘液。这两个病例的这些特征导致了明确的细胞学诊断。
Two examples of primary adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea are described in which the cytologic diagnosis was made from tracheal washings. It is easy to confuse adenoid cystic carcinoma with the more common small‐cell neoplasms of the respiratory tract; however, if differential features are kept in mind, such a distinction can be made in the cytologic material. Differential features include cohesive, globular, honeycomb‐like arrangements of cells lacking nuclear molding, three‐dimensional cell groups with ball‐like formations, and clusters of uniform cells with cystic spaces, some containing mucus. These features in both of our cases resulted in unequivocal cytologic diagnoses.
