Pleural effusion: Role of pleural fluid cytology, adenosine deaminase level, and pleural biopsy in diagnosis
OBJECTIVE The present study is designed to evaluate the role of pleural fluid analysis in diagnosing pleural diseases and to study the advantages and disadvantages of thoracocentasis and pleural biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively included 66 consecutive indoor patients over a duration of 1 year. Pleural fluid was collected and cytological smears were made from the fluid. Plural bi...
متن کاملThe Diagnostic Value of Pleural Fluid Cytology in Benign and Malignant Pleural Effusions
In developing countries, where investigations and health facilities are inadequate and cost of treatment is unaffordable, cytological examination of body fluids is considered a cheap, rapid, and highly effective tool in identification of the etiology of effusion with prediction of the underlying disease. Cytological examination can detect malignant cells in effusions and sometimes it's superior...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of pleural fluid cytology in occult Boerhaave's syndrome.
When Boerhaave's syndrome presents with atypical clinical features and eludes prompt diagnosis, delays in surgical therapy increase complications and mortality. We present a patient with occult Boerhaave's syndrome who had nondiagnostic esophageal contrast studies and thoracic computed tomography.

متن کاملThe Cytology of Metastatic Angiosarcoma in Pleural Fluid
A 74-year-old woman presented with an abrupt onset of dyspnea that she had experienced for a week. She had been suffering from cutaneous nodules in the scalp for a year. Thoracentesis of the pleural fluid was performed. The Papanicolaou-stained smears, Thin prep and cell block preparations revealed clusters of oval-shaped cells concentrically layered about amorphous acellular cores, i.e., there...
متن کاملPleural Fluid and Histologic Analysis
Although talc slurry pleurodesis is effective for control of malignant pleural effusions and recurrent pneumothorax, the mechanisms of pleurodesis remain incompletely defined. We instilled 70 mg/kg of sterile asbestos-free talc slurry into the pleural space of New Zealand white rabbits and studied the inflammatory response at 1, 2, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days by observing pleural fluid a...
