Fine needle aspiration cytology of myxoid liposarcoma; a study of 18 tumours.
The cytological features of 18 myxoid liposarcomas from 12 patients were analysed. The most consistent cytological features were: abundant myxoid matrix, several small tissue fragments with uniform small, round or stellate cells and a network of branching thin-walled capillaries. The presence of univacoulated or multivacuolated lipoblasts was noted frequently, but not in all aspirates. The diagnostic importance of vacuolated lipoblasts and the main problems of differential cytodiagnosis are discussed.
