“…Fine-needle aspiration specimens, although commonly employed, are not adequate during the workup of desmoplastic tumors due to issues with low cellularity of the sample, necrosis, and predominantly a desmoplastic reaction. Fine needle aspiration is challenging and requires pathological expertise in the utilization of ancillary techniques such as immunocytochemistry and cytometric immunophenotyping [5]. There is a wide range of differential diagnoses, including neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases, such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, desmoid tumor, fibrous histiocytoma and peritoneal tuberculosis [2,8,11,12].…”
