Role of imprint cytology in intraoperative diagnosis: value and limitations.
Imprints prepared from fresh surgical specimens give excellent cytological clarity. Used intraoperatively, the imprint method can provide valuable information when frozen-section interpretation is equivocal. However, cytologically well-differentiated tumours and tumours with a dense fibrous stroma, constituting 6% of the cases in the present series, cannot be diagnosed by this method. To increa...
متن کاملACCURACY OF INTRAOPERATIVE FROZEN SECTION DIAGNOSIS AND TOUCH IMPRINT CYTOLOGY: STUDY ON 1000 CONSECUTIVE CASES
Frozen section and touch imprint cytology are important diagnostic procedures for surgeons during operation and must be accurate if the patient is to receive maximum benefit. To assess the accuracy of intraoperative pathologic consultation including frozen section and touch imprint cytology during a five year period (1995- 2000), a retrospective survey of 1000 consecutive cases of frozen s...
متن کاملRole of intraoperative imprint cytology in diagnosis of suspected ovarian neoplasms.
BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to assess whether cytology can help in rapid diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms and thus facilitate individualised treatment. METHODS A prospective investigation was performed on 30 cases of suspected ovarian neoplasms. Imprint smears were made intraperatively from fresh samples from various representative areas, and stained with Leishman Giemsa for air-...
متن کاملUseful aspects of diagnosis of imprint cytology in intraoperative consultation of ovarian tumors: comparison between imprint cytology and frozen sections
BACKGROUND In the intraoperative consultation of ovarian tumors, the histological diagnosis of frozen sections (FS) of large tumors is frequently difficult because of the limited number of tumor samples. The application of imprint cytology (IC), in which samples are obtained from wide areas of the tumors, is useful for intraoperative consultation. However, the useful aspects of IC have not been...
