A 52-year-old woman had a skin tumor in her right sole. The tumor was diagnosed as malignant melanoma by biopsy at a private hospital in March 1988. In October 1988, the patient transferred to the Department of Dermatology, University of the Ryukyus Hospital, where she was undergone radical excision of right sole followed by chemotherapy (Dacarvazin, Adriamycin and vincristin) and interferon therapy. Histo10gical diagnosis of the tumor was a malignant melanoma acral lentiginous type. In February 1995, ascitic effusion was noted, and yellowish fluid was collected by tapping. Round shaped tumor cells containing irregular nuclei with prominent nucleoli were observed by Papanicolaou-stain and suggested the recurrence of malignant melanoma. The cytoplasm of the cells contained abundant fine granular melanin pigments. Intranuclear vacuolations were also observed in several tumor cells. Immunocytochemically the tumor celIs were positive for both S- 100 protein and neuron-specific-enolase (NSE) staining. Electron microscopic examination showed l irregular shaped nuclei with prominent nucleoli and melanosomes in the cytoplasm. We suggest that immunocytochemical staining and electron microscopic examination of the ascitic fluid may beuseful for diagnosis of malignant melanoma cytology., 論文}, pages = {143--146}, title = {[症例報告]腹水中に出現した皮膚原発悪性黒色腫一症例の細胞学的検討 : 特に細胞像を中心に}, volume = {16}, year = {1996} }
