Abstract
The clinical value of cytological aspiration biopsy in 85 patients with lytic bone lesions was studied. In 71 cases cytology was of diagnostic value, but in 14 cases it was inconclusive or misleading. The method is considered a simple primary diagnostic procedure especially in lytic bone lesions of uncertain nature.Keywords
