****Nucleoli.
****Hyperchromasia.
***Low/intermediate grade lesions:
****Bi-nucleation.
****Hypochromatic enlarged nuclei.
**Increased cellularity.
***More cellular than cartilage... but relatively paucicellular compared to other sarcomas.
**Irregular spacing of chondrocytes.

*More cellular than cartilage... but relatively paucicellular compared to other sarcomas.
*Low grade chondrosarcoma are not cytologically malignant; the diagnosis rests mostly on radiologic findings.
