  • Title: Fine needle aspiration of angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma. A case report.
    Author: Basu S, Singhal U, Mohan H.
    Journal: Acta Cytol; 1999; 43(5):859-61. PubMed ID: 10518144.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: During recent years, reliable cytodiagnostic criteria have been proposed for a number of soft tissue lesions, both benign and malignant. However, cytomorphologic descriptions of angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma (AMFH) are lacking. We report the cytomorphologic features of this uncommon lesion. CASE: A 10-year-old female presented with a swelling in the thigh that, on fine needle aspiration (FNA), was reported as a soft tissue tumor (vasoformative) of intermediate malignancy. Subsequent excision with histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The differential diagnosis of AMFH based on FNA findings can be difficult and should be made in conjunction with clinical findings.
