Fine needle aspiration biopsy cytology of chondrosarcoma.
The cytomorphological appearances of bone and soft tissue tumours, when combined with radiology and clinical presentation, can lead to a positive diagnosis in the majority of cases. Our experience with fine needle aspiration biopsy of 13 cases of chondrosarcoma, encountered over a four year period is presented, in correlation with their radiological appearances. It is concluded that. FNAB is a valuable pre-operative tool in characterising chondroid neoplasms in soft tissue and bone.
