Cytomorphological and Immunohistochemical Features of Metastatic Malignant Phyllodes Tumour in Pleural Fluid: A Case Report With Literature Review

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The cytomorphology of malignant phyllodes tumour (MPT) in effusion specimens is rarely described. In this paper, the detailed cytopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of metastatic MPT have been described in pleural effusion. Patients' medical history and the judicious utilisation of ancillary studies including cellblock and immunocytochemistry contribute to ensure precise cytological diagnoses. The cytomorphology of malignant phyllodes tumour (MPT) in effusion specimens can be diagnostically challenging. The author presents detailed cytopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of a case of metastatic MPT in pleural effusion.
