Sixty three cases of clinically and radiologically diagnosed osteosarcomas were evaluated by fine needle aspiration cytology over a five year period. Adequate material was obtained in 59 cases. The sites aspirated were femur, tibia, humerus, fibula, scapula and clavicle. The mean age was 16 years. The most frequent morphological type encountered was the pleomorphic tumor (42) the other cytological types were sclerotic (10), chondroid (6), and small cell osteosarcoma (1). Hematoxylin and Eosin stain was better suited for detection of osteoid than routinely done cytological stain. The awareness of this cytological diversity is essential to avoid misinterpretation of osteosarcomas.
在五年期间，通过细针穿刺细胞学检查对63例临床和放射学诊断的骨肉瘤病例进行了评估。59例获取了足够的样本。穿刺部位包括股骨、胫骨、肱骨、腓骨、肩胛骨和锁骨。平均年龄为16岁。最常见的形态学类型是多形性肿瘤（42例），其他细胞学类型为硬化性（10例）、软骨样（6例）和小细胞骨肉瘤（1例）。苏木精和伊红染色比常规细胞学染色更适合检测骨样组织。认识到这种细胞学多样性对于避免骨肉瘤的误诊至关重要。
