Abstract

Nodular histiocytic/mesothelial hyperplasia (NHMH) is a pathologic entity that has not been well characterized in the cytopathology literature. This is unfortunate because if unrecognized, NHMH may be misdiagnosed when encountered in cytology specimens. The aim of this communication is to accordingly alert cytologists about NHMH by means of an illustrative case report.

Keywords: cytomorphology; nodular histiocytic/mesothelial hyperplasia.
