Aspiration Biopsy Cytology of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Cytologic findings of malignant cells obtained by fine needle aspiration from a huge
retroperitoneal malignant fibrous histiocytoma were described.
The smears contained numerous malignant cells, isolated or in clusters, in a bloody
background. The malignant cells had abundant pleomorphic foamy or acidsphilic
cytoplasm with occasional multilobated vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Dual
differentiation, both histiocytic and fibroblastic types, and neutrophilic inflammatory
background were diagnostic of this neoplasm.
The report indicated that study of aspiration cytology specimen from a soft tissue
tumor was a valuable adjunct to histologic examination.
