背景
虽然腺样囊性癌的细胞学表现已被频繁报道，细针穿刺诊断外耳道腺样囊性癌还没有在英文文献中报道。
情况
一名70岁女性出现肿块阻塞外耳道。进行细针穿刺细胞学检查。涂片显示透明小球被肿瘤细胞包围。肿瘤细胞核均匀、圆形、深染，核仁可见，胞浆少。根据这些细胞形态学特征，诊断腺样囊性癌，然后由组织病理学检查证实。
结论
这是第一个外耳道腺样囊性癌的细胞学报告，这种肿瘤是一种罕见的网站。
BACKGROUND
Although the cytologic findings of adenoid cystic carcinoma have been reported frequently, fine needle aspiration diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal has not been reported before in the English-language literature.
CASE
A 70-year-old female presented with a mass occluding the external auditory canal. Fine needle aspiration cytology was performed. The smears showed hyaline globules surrounded by tumor cells. The tumor cells had uniform, round, hyperchromatic nuclei, visible nucleoli and little cytoplasm. Based on these cytomorphologic features, diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma was rendered and then confirmed by histopathologic examination.
CONCLUSION
This is the first cytologic report of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the external auditory canal, a rare site for this tumor.
