The Spectrum of Malignant Diagnoses in Cerebrospinal Fluid ( <scp>CSF</scp> ) Cytology in Both Pediatric and Adult Populations: A Single‐Institutional Retrospective Review
A broad spectrum of epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematolymphoid malignancies can be diagnosed on CSF cytology, and these are likely metastatic in origin. Hematolymphoid malignancies, especially lymphoblastic lymphoma in children, are most common. Likewise, metastatic carcinomas constitute the major bulk of the adult population.
