Abstract
In a 66-year-old male, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of an osteolytic vertebral lesion determined the diagnosis of a liver cell carcinoma, until then clinically silent. FNAB confirmed the diagnosis of the tumor and the identification of the primary site without resorting to surgery.
