Abstract
Pneumocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the lung that usually presents as a
solitary pulmonary nodule. It is believed to arise from the primitive undifferentiated
respiratory epithelium. We report a case of pulmonary pneumocytoma that was
suspected on needle aspiration smears and confi rmed histologically. This case
describes the cytological features of pneumocytoma that are rarely described
in textbooks.
