A clear understanding of these techniques is mandatory to optimize the quality of cytological smears. Many readytouse commercial kits are now available that produce reliable and consistent staining; indeed, automation in various forms has improved efficiency in the cytopathology laboratory. New liquidbased technologies can produce monolayered cell samples, eliminate background and provide optimal concentration of epithelial cells. Some of these are based on vacuum filtration, others on density gradient centrifugation. In addition to conventional staining techniques, they also allow human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing, histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and other special studies. The basic techniques of cytopreparation are summarized in this chapter with an overview of laboratory processing.","PeriodicalId":18805,"journal":{"name":"Monographs in clinical cytology","volume":"20 ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000319832","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29536958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The enchondromas are tumours of the medullary bone while periosteal (juxtacortical) chondromas arise from the periosteum. Enchondromas are common bone tumours with a wide age distribution, although the majority of patients are 20–40 years of age. Almost 50% of surgically removed enchondromas occur in the small bones of the hands and feet. The second commonest sites are the proximal part of the humerus and the proximal and distal femur. Enchondromas of the hands and feet are typically palpable and sometimes painful tumours. However, these tumours are commonly first discovered when a mild to moderate trauma causes a fracture. Multiple enchondromas are designated as enchondromatosis or Ollier’s disease. Periosteal chondromas are less common than enchondromas and are most common in the long bones.","PeriodicalId":18805,"journal":{"name":"Monographs in clinical cytology","volume":"19 ","pages":"31-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000242485","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28653234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chordomas are often difficult to diagnose by conventional radiology, due to the fact that bowel gas and content obscure the outlining of the sacrum. Large chordomas may be overlooked.

In the sacrum the tumour destroys the cortex of the anterior and posterior faces, often with a large soft tissue component. Calcifications are commonly found.
