Diagn Cytopathol. 1998 May;18(5):362-4. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0339(199805)18:5<362::aid-dc12>3.0.co;2-g.

Abstract

The cytologic findings of a sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) that ruptured during laparoscopy are described. Features useful in distinguishing SCTAT from other ovarian sex cord tumors include the presence of highly cellular tubular formations containing well-delimited glassy pink material and absence of single cells. To the best of our knowledge, the cytology of SCTAT has not been previously reported.
