title: Fine needle aspiration cytology of liposarcoma of the breast. A case report.
abstract: Aspiration cytology has become an accepted procedure in the evaluation of breast abnormalities. Encountering unusual findings in cytologic material, therefore, may become more frequent. We describe a primary liposarcoma of the breast diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and review the cytologic features of liposarcoma in general. The differential diagnosis is considered, and the previous literature regarding liposarcomas of the breast is reviewed.
