Anal screening cytology
This issue of CytoJournal contains an article on screening for anal intraepithelial neoplasia in high-risk male patients. This accompanying Editorial focuses on current understanding of this relatively new disease entity, with insights as to the potential role of screening cytopathology in the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical management of this HIV and HPV related anal lesion, which p...
متن کاملDiagnostic utility of p16 immunocytochemistry for Trichomonas in urine cytology
We present a case in which p16 immunocytochemistry helped establish the diagnosis of Trichomonas in urine from a male patient. Based on this finding, we recommend p16 immunocytochemistry as a diagnostic tool for unexpected patients or specimen types in which potential trichomonads are identified following routine cytologic evaluation.
متن کاملKeratosis reduces sensitivity of anal cytology in detecting anal intraepithelial neoplasia.
OBJECTIVE To identify factors that may contribute to poor sensitivity of anal cytology in contrast to the sensitivity of anoscopy in heterosexual women. METHODS We analyzed 324 patients with biopsy confirmed diagnosis of genital intraepithelial neoplasia (either vulva, vaginal, or cervical) from 2006 to 2011 who underwent both anal cytology and anoscopy. Cytology, anoscopy, and biopsy results...
متن کاملNew method for preserving cytology specimens.
A method of freezing cytological material for long term storage, based on a modification of that used in tissue typing for the storage of lymphocytes, was developed. The method entails the centrifugation of the specimen, adding 1 ml AB or fetal calf serum and 1 ml 20% dimethyl sulphoxide aliquoted into 2 ml tubes, and storage at -70 degrees C. Cytological detail was well preserved in a variety ...
متن کاملRisk factors for abnormal anal cytology in young heterosexual women.
Although anal cancers are up to four times more common in women than men, little is known about the natural history of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and HPV-related anal lesions in women. This study reports on the prevalence of and risks for anal cytological abnormalities over a 1-year period in a cohort of young women participating in a study of the natural history of cervical HPV...
