Abstract
Our study on 106 cases of bone tumors aims at correlating the clinical, radiological and cytological findings
of benign and malignant tumors of bone and evaluating the usefulness of percutaneous biopsy as a diagnostic
tool in underdeveloped countries. Giant cell lesions were the most common benign tumor, 42 cases (84%)
and giant cell tumor was the most common giant cell lesion in our study, 27 (64.3%). Round cell tumor
appeared to be the most common malignant tumor of bone, 20 cases (35.7%). Osteosarcoma represented
15 cases (14.2%) of all bone tumors and 26.8% of all malignant bone tumors in our study. Final
histopathological diagnosis was available only in 54 cases. Out of which 53 cases showed concordance
with previous cytological diagnosis. Only a single case of chondrosarcoma was misdiagnosed as chondroma
on FNAC (false negative). The sensitivity and specificity of FNAC was 96.0% and 100% respectively
while positive predictive value and negative predictive values were 100% and 96.7% respectively. The
diagnostic accuracy in our study was 98.1%.
