  Background: Evaluation of patients with skin or subcutaneous nodules, especially if it was multiple represents a major problem for the clinicians. But with full investigations, the problem becomes easier. However, the final diagnosis depends on pathological reports of tissue biopsy [1]. The easy access of the skin nodule provides the soil for performance fine needle aspiration cytology and taking the samples by the pathologists, or the clinicians. Smear cytology gives many defaults[2]. Performance of cell blocks was a trial to avoid these defaults and improve the diagnosis. The results of smear and cell block examinations were compared with examination of tissue biopsies. Methodology: Two hundred twenty five skin and subcutaneous nodules from 225 patients underwent the material of this stud.. Read More»
