Cytopathology of soft tissue tumors

Cesk Patol. 2019 Spring;55(2):92-95.

Abstract

Nowadays, FNAC is an important diagnostic tool of soft tissue tumors in southeast Asia and India. We can also appreciate recent monographies on this topic authored by Swedish and American cytopathologists. They constantly stress the importance of clinical information and imaging studies. A cytology report should determine the morphological type of tumoral cell population, tumor grade (in two-tiered system) and conclusion providing at least some probable diagnostic options. This approach is documented in two case reports on pleiomorphic liposarcoma and giant cell tumor of tendo sheet.

Keywords: FNAC; cytology; giant cell tumor of tendo sheet; pleiomorphic liposarcoma; soft tissue tumors.
