摘要: Abstract Artifacts that mimic malignancy may lead to diagnostic difficulty and can cause serious consequences. We present 2 cases received in consultation which demonstrated peculiar artifacts closely mimicked carcinoma. In case 1, contaminating products of conception were confused with squamous cell 2, artifactual signet ring cells induced by procedural trauma suspicious for both cases, clinical correlation failed completely exclude carcinoma, limited tissue prevented use ancillary studies. Our final resolution these required lengthy detailed morphologic analysis.
