Forty\u2010four (46%) tumors were primary, 38 (40%) were recurrent, and 13 (14%) were metastatic. Histological variants of MFH were as follows: 52 (54.7%, 43 patients) were of the storiform\/pleomorphic, seven (7.4%, five patients) were giant cells, four (4.2%, four patients) were inflammatory, and 31 (33.7%, 19 patients) were myxoid type. Review of original cytology reports showed that only 23 (24.2%) tumors were diagnosed as MFH and 68 (71.6%) as other types of malignancies. Four (4.2%) cases were reported as unsatisfactory\/suspicious. Our findings showed that spindle\u2010shaped, round, giant cells, osteoclastic\u2010like giant, and inflammatory cells were the most consistent features that allow identification of the storiform\/pleomorphic, giant cell, and inflammatory variants of MFH. The myxoid tumors had marked myxoid background matrix with spindle\u2010shaped cells and, less frequently, round and giant cells. Pleomorphic leiomyosarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of stroriphorm\/pleomorphic, giant cells, and inflammatory variants of MFH. However, myxoid MFH may resemble their leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma counterparts. Diagn.
