This study analyses the role of the cytological examination of the sediment of the formalin in which bone biopsy specimens are received, in the early diagnosis of bone lesions. Of the one hundred lesions studied using this technique, twenty six of thirty three malignant lesions (seventy nine percent) could be diagnosed as malignant when relevant clinical and radiological data were considered. Sixty six benign lesions yielded sparsely cellular smears with benign cell. There was one false positive for malignancy. This simple rapid diagnostic technique can be used to advantage in the early diagnosis, and treatment planning of bone lesions.
本研究分析了接收骨活检标本的福尔马林中沉淀物的细胞学检查在骨病变早期诊断中的作用。在使用该技术研究的100个病变中，当考虑相关临床和放射学数据时，33个恶性病变中的26个（79%）可被诊断为恶性。66个良性病变产生细胞稀少的良性细胞涂片。有1例假阳性恶性结果。这种简单快速的诊断技术可有效地用于骨病变的早期诊断和治疗规划。
