 AB    Extrapulmonary Pneumocystitis carinii is an uncommon and probably
       underdiagnosed complication of pulmonary P. carinii infections. We
       report the cytologic diagnosis of a case of P. carinii lymphadenitis
       which presented, without concurrent or historical pneumonitis, in a
       human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patient who was taking
       aerosolized pentamidine. The diagnosis was suggested by abundant
       granular exudate on the cell block. Only scant, fragmented,
       irregular-shaped granular exudate was present on the direct smears and
       the Millipore filter preparation. The diagnosis was confirmed by special
       stains on the cell block.
