Precise preoperative diagnosis of three malignant nerve sheath tumors (MNST) was based on their remarkably uniform and highly characteristic cytologic appearance. The differential diagnosis with benign nerve sheath tumors and other spindle cell sarcomas is addressed, and the possibility of achieving

Abstract
Here we described a rare case of malignant endovascular papillary angioendothelioma (Dabska tumor) in an adult female. On fine needle aspiration, the smear showed many small clusters of tumor cells with rosettoid arrangement alongwith papillary fragments with fibrovascular core and hobnail like arrangement of the cells. Histopathological examination revealed a vascular tumor in the form of papillary projection into the vascular lumina, lined by atypical endothelial cells. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2010.

Fibrothecomas are common, but their malignant counterpart is extraordinarily rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the cytologic features of malignant fibrothecoma. We had an opportunity to study it because the 70-yr-old woman refused initial surgery until the tumor reached
