Cytological diagnosis of cribriform adenocarcinoma at a rare site

Abstract

Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland is a rare infiltrative tumour with a dearth of literature explaining the cytomorphology. There is no case reported in the tonsil on fine needle aspiration cytology. It can be differentiated from other salivary gland malignancies on the basis of pattern recognition and molecular analysis of cell blocks.
