Abstract:
A case is presented of a rhabdomyosarcoma of the oesophagus with a description of the cytology, light microscopy, and immunocytochemical findings and a discussion of spindle cell tumours occurring at this site. Cytologically, large bizarre shaped pleomorphic cells were seen in which desmin was demonstrated in order to confirm the diagnosis after destaining a Papanicolaou stained slide and restaining it with antibody to desmin.
