title: Cytopathologic aspects of pulmonary metastasis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, myxoid variant: fine needle aspiration biopsy of a case.
abstract: The cytopathologic findings of a fine needle aspiration biopsy of pulmonary metastasis of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma, myxoid variant, are documented. Isolated and irregular loose clusters or bundles of spindle cells and pleomorphic multinucleated giant cells were found. No signet-ring lipoblastlike cells were identified. The cytologic findings were similar to the histology of the primary tumor removed from the patient's leg 18 months previously.
