متن کاملMetastatic Chordoma: A Diagnostic Challenge on Fine Needle Aspiration
Chordomas are primary low grade malignant tumors of bone that usually arise within both ends of axial skeleton. The Notochord is a midline, ectoderm-derived structure that defines the phylum of chordates. Chordomas may pose difficult diagnostic challenges when encountered in secondary locations, such as lungs or other parenchymatous organs. We report the cytologic findings of a metastatic chord...
متن کاملFine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of bone tumours.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology was performed on 62 primary and 22 metastatic bone tumours. Histological correlation was available in all 62 primary bone tumours, which included 7 benign and 53 malignant tumours. The most common of the malignant tumours were Ewing's sarcoma, followed by giant cell tumour, osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. The benign tumours included 4 enchondromas, 1 chond...
