Abstract
Aspiration biopsy cytology is a convenient, easy and non-invasive method for diagnosis of tumors. The results and cytologic features of carcinoma in various organs have been reported frequently, however, those of soft tissue sarcoma are relatively rare to find. Here we describe fine needle aspiration cytologic features of various soft tissue sarcomas and discuss cytologic differential points. The material is 6 cases of soft tissue sarcoma that were confirmed by histologic examination. They are composed of 2 cases of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans and one case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, synovial sarcoma, alveolar soft pan sarcoma, and malignant schwannoma respectively.
