Fine Needle Aspiration Cytological study of Bone tumors and tumor like lesions with clinic pathological correlation

“…Chondro blasts are also present. Orell and Jennifer A. Youndg described similar features (18,38,40).…”

“…Jennifer A. Young also described fragments of cartilaginous material with similar cellular features (9,18).…”
