Fine‐needle aspiration cytopathology of malignant fibrous histiocytoma

Most pathologists generally accept malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) as the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults. This study examines the authors' aspiration cytopathology experience with this tumor, describes its cytomorphology, and determines the reliability of such a diagnosis by fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).
