In the last few years, the primary diagnosis of soft tissue tumours has emerged as an important new target for fine needle aspiration (FNA). The purpose of this book is to facilitate the cytological evaluation of FNA smears from soft tissue tumours and to suggest cytological criteria for histotype diagnoses. Its primary aim is to describe and illustrate not only the most common types but also those rare tumours where cytological features have been largely described in case reports and in small series. The diagnostic use of ancillary methods is discussed and illustrated, and, in order to facilitate the diagnostic work-up in FNA samples, smears are also classified according to their principal microscopic patterns. The selection of entities presented, their diagnostic features and differential diagnostic considerations are mainly based on the experience with FNA in the primary diagnosis of soft tissue tumours in patients referred to the Musculoskeletal Tumour Centre at the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden over the last 30 years. The illustrations have mainly been culled from cases in the files of the Department of Pathology and Cytology, Lund University Hospital. Soft tissue tumours are relatively rare and often difficult to correctly diagnose in fine needle aspirates. Therefore, this publication should be welcomed by all cytopathologists involved in the FNA diagnosis of tumours as a valuable addition to their benchside textbooks.
在过去几年中，软组织肿瘤的初步诊断已成为细针穿刺抽吸（FNA）的一个重要新靶点。本书的目的是促进对软组织肿瘤FNA涂片的细胞学评估，并提出组织学类型诊断的细胞学标准。其主要目的不仅是描述和说明最常见的类型，还包括那些在病例报告和小系列研究中已大量描述细胞学特征的罕见肿瘤。文中讨论并举例说明了辅助方法的诊断应用，并且，为了便于对FNA样本进行诊断检查，涂片还根据其主要显微镜下模式进行了分类。所呈现实体的选择、它们的诊断特征以及鉴别诊断考虑主要基于过去30年瑞典隆德大学医院肌肉骨骼肿瘤中心对软组织肿瘤进行初步诊断时FNA的经验。插图主要选自隆德大学医院病理与细胞学系档案中的病例。软组织肿瘤相对罕见，在细针抽吸物中往往难以正确诊断。因此，本出版物对于所有参与肿瘤FNA诊断的细胞病理学家来说，应是他们案头教科书的宝贵补充，值得欢迎。
