Comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of cell block with cytology smear in serous effusions
Correspondence: Dr. Pratibha Bista,, MD Department of Pathology, National Academy of Medical Sciences, Bir Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal. E-mail: [email protected] Background: Differentiation between benign and malignant serous effusions always poses a great diagnostic dilemma. Differentiation often requires clinical findings, morphological evaluation and sometimes immunocytochemistry. Dia...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Cell Block Method and Smear Cytology in Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Intra-abdominal Mass Lesions
Background& Objective: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an easy, rapid, and less hazardous tool to diagnose the intra-abdominal lesions with various imaging modalities adding to its sensitivity and accuracy. However, sometimes it does not yield adequate information for precise diagnosis and the risk of false-negative and indeterminate diagnosi...
متن کاملCell block cytology. Improved preparation and its efficacy in diagnostic cytology.
Cell blocks prepared from residual tissue fluids and fine-needle aspirations can be useful adjuncts to smears for establishing a more definitive cytopathologic diagnosis. They can be particularly useful for categorization of tumors that otherwise may not be possible from smears themselves. A modified cell block technique using an improvised ethanol formalin fixative (Nathan alcohol formalin sub...
متن کاملDiagnostic relevance of cell block procedure in secondary tumors of the pancreas
DOI: 10.4103/1742-6413.189638 Although the efficacy of EUS‐FNA partly depends on the size and characteristics of the pancreatic mass as well as on the expertise, training and interaction between endosonographer and cytopathologist, the introduction of cell block procedure (CBP) may be considered an adequate additional diagnostic tool.[1‐3] In fact, this technique allows better preservation of c...
متن کاملThe cell block method increases the diagnostic yield in exudative pleural effusions accompanying lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE Thoracentesis is the first investigation to be performed in a patient with lung cancer and pleural effusion. The diagnostic yield of conventional smear studies varies in the first thoracentesis. In this study, we aimed to investigate if the cell block method increases the diagnostic yield in exudative pleural effusions accompanying lung cancer. MATERIAL AND METHOD Forty patients wit...
