Patients with malignant bone tumours often come at a very late stage of disease to Medical Colleges. Because of their high mortality rate, accurate & quick diagnosis of these lesions become essential, inspite of clinical, radiological and histopathological assessments. A simple, inexpensive, safe & least traumatic technique-fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosis of 55 malignant bone tumours was carried out. Specific tumour types metastatic tumour (12), Giant cell tumour (12), Ewing's sarcoma (10), Osteosarcoma (7), Multiple myeloma (7), Chordoma (3), Chondrosarcoma (3) and Fibrosarcoma (1) could be ascertained in 87.2% whereas malignant tumour was suggested in 94.5% (52 cases).
患有恶性骨肿瘤的患者往往在疾病的晚期才到医学院就诊。由于其高死亡率,尽管有临床、放射学和组织病理学评估,但对这些病变进行准确、快速的诊断仍至关重要。我们采用了一种简单、廉价、安全且创伤最小的技术——细针穿刺细胞学检查(FNAC)来诊断55例恶性骨肿瘤。可以确定87.2%的特定肿瘤类型,包括转移性肿瘤(12例)、骨巨细胞瘤(12例)、尤因肉瘤(10例)、骨肉瘤(7例)、多发性骨髓瘤(7例)、脊索瘤(3例)、软骨肉瘤(3例)和纤维肉瘤(1例),而94.5%(52例)提示为恶性肿瘤。
