Cytomorphological study of mesenchymal spindle cell lesions of soft tissues by fine needle aspiration cytology
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the scope of fine needle aspiration cytology FNAC in diagnosing mesenchymal spindle cell lesions of soft tissues Cytological findings of 52 cases were evaluatedMaterials and Methods Conventional May Grunwald Giemsa MGG staining was done in all the 52 cases Histopathology was available in 19 cases The cytological findings were correlated with histology in these casesResults Out of 52 cases 39 were benign whereas 13 cases were malignant Among benign spindle cell lesions schwannoma was the commonest followed by nodular fasciitis Among malignant spindle cell lesions dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans DFSP was the commonest tumor Cytological and histological correlation could be achieved in 19 cases with an accuracy of 8947 The overall sensitivity and specificity was 8333 and 9231 respectivelyConclusion FNAC is a simple inexpensive and rapid method to provide a reliable diagnosis to the clinician at initial presentation in mesenchymal spindle cell lesions especially when used in conjunction with clinical dataKeywords FNAC Mesenchymal spindle cell lesion Benign and malignant
