“…The cytologic diagnosis of SH was made in 4 of 10 (40%) patients at the time of FNA or TBNA. 10,11,13,16 Presumably, in the remaining patients the correct diagnosis was made from a review of the subsequent surgical specimens. 9,12,14,15,17,18 From a review of our case and those previously described, the cytologic diagnosis of SH requires the identification of its dual cell population.…”

There are many reports of sclerosing hemangioma from the perspective of its histopathologic features, but its cytopathologic characteristics are less well known. In this report we present the case of a patient in which the cytologic features firmly established a definitive diagnosis; surgical intervention was warranted only after the lesion had grown over the course of 7 yr of close observation. The cytologic diagnosis requires the identification of a dual cell population. Both populations of tumor cell nuclei are immunoreactive for thyroid transcription factor-1, but caution is warranted because this marker may be present in other tumors. Recognition of its distinctive cytologic features can lead to proper diagnosis and conservative management.
