Tumefactive Demyelination: A Common Radiological Masquerader of Malignancy and the Expeditious Diagnostic Applicability of Crush Smear Cytology

Tumefactive demyelinations (TDs) are demyelinating central nervous system lesions that masquerade as neoplastic lesions on radiological images. Brain biopsy is often required for confirmatory diagnosis. Since crush cytology has become a routine practice, a thorough knowledge of the cytomorphologic f...

description Tumefactive demyelinations (TDs) are demyelinating central nervous system lesions that masquerade as neoplastic lesions on radiological images. Brain biopsy is often required for confirmatory diagnosis. Since crush cytology has become a routine practice, a thorough knowledge of the cytomorphologic features of TD is required to prevent misdiagnosis. In this report, we describe the cytomorphological and histomorphological features of a case of TD.
