Implication

FNA cytomorphology may aid angiosarcoma recognition; leaves open need for IHC confirmation and larger validation studies.

Structured PICO

Population

20 patients (26 angiosarcomas) confirmed by cytomorphology and immunocytochemical positivity, mean age 52 years, 8 males and 12 females. Tumor sites included soft tissue/skin/subcutis (n=10), bone (n=4), nodes (n=5), lung (n=2), liver (n=2), heart (n=1), parotid gland (n=1), and pleural fluid (n=1).

Intervention

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology and immunocytochemistry

Outcome

Cytomorphologic and vasoformative features of angiosarcoma on FNA

Angiosarcomas exhibit a range of cytomorphologic and vasoformative features on fine-needle aspiration that make them potentially recognizable, though immunohistochemistry is required for definitive diagnosis.
