## Abstract To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of subgrouping and grading softโtissue sarcomas by fineโneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), a blind review was conducted of 84 FNAB specimens from 77 malignant and 7 benign softโtissue lesions. Cytomorphologic subgroups included 31 spindleโcell,
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Patients with primary highโgrade retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas have a 5โyear diseaseโspecific survival (DSS) of <40%. The impact of neoadjuvant therapy on histopathologic response and DSS are unknown. ## METHODS: From 1987 to 2007, 55 patients with primary highโ
classification. ## METHODS. The study included 24 Papanicolaou-stained fluid samples (15 pleural, 8 peritoneal, and 1 pericardial) from patients with a diagnosis of sarcoma. The following features were evaluated: cellular arrangement, cellularity, nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, background, quality an
## Background: Fine-needle aspiration cytology plays an important role in the preoperative diagnosis of palpable masses as well as impalpable lesions that can only be sampled by stereotactic or ultrasound techniques. a further refinement of cytologic diagnosis would be the ability to distinguish am
