  • Title: Needle aspiration biopsy in the diagnosis of lytic bone lesions in histiocytosis X, Ewing's sarcoma and neuroblastoma.
    Author: Thommesen P, Frederiksen P, Löwhagen T, Willems JS.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Oncol Radiat Phys Biol; 1978; 17(2):145-9. PubMed ID: 308767.
    Abstract:
    Cytologic smears obtained by needle aspiration biopsy of lytic bone lesions in 15 patients with histiocytosis X, Ewing's sarcoma and neuroblastoma were reviewed. After conventional staining, histiocytosis X could be diagnosed and differentiated from small cell tumours such as Ewing's sarcoma and neuroblastoma. The need for sampling material for cytochemical and ultrastructural analysis of these small cell tumours by needle aspiration is emphasized.
