BACKGROUND: To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no recorded cytologic features of any effusion from @entity298 showing cytologic findings linked to rheumatoid @entity456 , although @entity14931 have been described in the peritoneum. CASE: A 75-year-old @entity1 with longstanding, poorly controlled @entity309 was seen in our hospital after a motor vehicle collision. Computed tomography showed free fluid in the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic examination revealed a large amount of nonhemorrhagic @entity843 fluid and no traumatic intraabdominal injuries. Abdominal and peritoneal surfaces appeared completely normal. The @entity843 fluid was aspirated through the laparoscope and sent for cytologic examination. Cytospin preparations revealed histiocytes and loosely cohesive clusters of small cytologically bland epithelioid cells amid acute inflammatory cells and granular @entity39 . Cell block material displayed transected fibroconnective tissue fragments lined by hyperplastic mesothelium with @entity1544 . Immunohistochemical studies revealed that the mesothelial cells were positive for calretinin, @entity4205 , and @entity4206 . CONCLUSION: The ascites was attributed to peritoneal disease from @entity309 , based on the cytologic findings, immuno-profile, exclusion of other possible causes (i.e., @entity82 , @entity1985 , @entity6518 , or drugs), and @entity1 's clinical setting.
