The case is a 61-year-old man who presented lung metastasis 4 years after radical operation for left femoral rhabdomyosarcoma.<BR>Lung metastasis, which generally occurs frequently in the peripheral, especially just in the subpleural region of the lung, is difficult to examine transbronchial cytologically and/or histologically.<BR>The present case presented a subbronchomucosal metastatic focus, cytologic and histological examinations of which were possible by biopsy from the tumor surface exposed to the bronchial lumen.<BR>Brushing cytology revealed marked irregularity, polymorphism, colorfulness, etc., in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. No definite cytoplasmic stria were observed, but pictures characteristic of rhabdomyosarcoma appeared, such as nuclear protrusion from the cytoplasmic border of nuclear superposition on the cytoplasm. The case was regarded as lung metastasis of rhabdomyosarcoma from the biopsy results and its past history.
