Fine-needle aspiration diagnosis of giant cell tumour of bone presenting at unusual sites.

abstract：:Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is a highly recurrent benign tumor of the extremities. Wide local excision is usually sufficient to achieve its recurrence-free outcome. However, that needs a confident pre-operative cytological diagnosis as TSGCT. Aspirates from this tumor express the characteristic polymorphic c...
