Alveolar-cell carcinoma: a problem in sputum cytodiagnosis.
Cytology and histology are correlated in a series of 22 cases chosen to illustrate the differential diagnosis between clusters of benign bronchial or bronchiolar cells seen in sputum, and those of alveolar cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma with alveolar spread. Alveolar-cell carcinoma is characterised by clusters of small epithelial cells in spherical or irregular formations, none showing enough...

متن کاملA Pitfall in the Cytodiagnosis of Sputum of Asthmatics.
The sputum of an asthmatic often contains large, well-circumscribed clusters of benign columnar epithelial cells which can be misinterpreted as papillary fragments of an adenocarcinoma. Their presence is a manifestation of the excessive shedding of the mucosa of the lower respiratory tract accompanying an attack of bronchial asthma. These clusters are illustrated and compared with clusters of a...

Background and Objective: Cutaneous cytology is the study of scraping or smears obtained from skin lesions. Although not commonly employed, cutaneous cytology has been a useful tool for clinicians due to simplified procedures and high sensitivity and specificity of presurgical clinical diagnosis of common types of skin tumors. This investigation was conducted to study usefulness of cutaneous cy...
متن کاملCytodiagnosis of cutaneous basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE We performed a prospective study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cytologic examination in basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), in order to assess its clinical value. Study design Samples were taken by the "scraping" technique which involves scraping with a scalpel blade directly over the skin tumor surface, smearing the cells onto several glass slid...
