| Abstract: | The cases of two elderly female patients with benign adrenal cortical nodules that mimicked small round cell malignancies by fine needle aspiration cytology are reported. Electron microscopic examination of part of the aspirate revealed the cells to be aggregates of bare nuclei of broken adrenal cortical cells, leading to a correct diagnosis. |
