Abstract

Methods for percutaneous sampling such as core needle biopsy (CNB) and drill biopsy have, in recent years, emerged as important diagnostic substitutes for open biopsy of bone neoplasms. In addition, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been used for the diagnosis of bone lesions under certain circumstances. As early as 1931, Coley and Ellis applied this sampling method to bone neoplasms. To date, several large series of FNA examination of bone lesions have been published. There are several advantages to skeletal FNAC. The procedure is less traumatic than either CNB or open biopsy and can be used safely in difficult sites such as vertebrae or pelvic bone. FNAC allows rapid on-site assessment and coordination of further investigations and planning of anticipated therapy.
