ABSTRACT
Soft tissue neoplasms pose many diagnostic challenges on fine-needle aspiration (FNA), owing largely to their rarity, large number of entities, and histologic diversity. Advances in ancillary testing now allow detection of the characteristic immunophenotypes and molecular alterations for many neoplasms and include reliable surrogate immunohistochemical markers for underlying molecular events that are highly efficient in small biopsies. A morphology-based framework is recommended to guide appropriate differentials and judicious selection of ancillary tests for small biopsies. The accurate diagnosis of soft tissue tumors is crucial for patient management and prognostication, with many potential implications in this era of precision medicine.
