Soft tissue neoplasms are increasingly being sampled by core needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration (FNA), and these small biopsy specimens pose unique diagnostic challenges. Many advances in ancillary testing enable detection of characteristic immunophenotypes and molecular alterations, allowing accurate classification of soft tissue tumors in these small biopsy samples. This review outlines pattern-based diagnostic approaches to core biopsies and FNAs of soft tissue neoplasms, including formulation of practical differential diagnoses and relevant application of ancillary tests.
