Aspiration biopsy cytology by fine needle is becoming a popular diagnostic procedure for soft‐tissue lesions; it also can be used successfully to diagnose some lesions from bone. The value of this procedure for making the initial diagnosis is illustrated by a case in which a malignant fibrous histiocytoma from a skull bone afflicted with Paget's disease was aspirated and interpreted as a sarcoma. This was later confirmed and subclassi‐fied by histology and electron microscopy from the tissue. Diagn Cytopathol 1988;4:262–264.
