Pitfalls in the cytological diagnosis of tenosynovial giant cell tumor: An illustration of eight discordant cases.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is commonly used to investigate lymphadenopathy of suspected metastatic origin. While diagnostic accuracy of FNA for lymph node disease is well described, the relationship between node size, percent tumor replacement, and size of metastatic deposit with diagnostic accuracy is les...
