Imprint Smear Cytology and Histopathology of Breast Lesions - a Comparative Evaluation with Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective behind the work was to study the accuracy of imprint cytology, cyto-histological correlation and various patterns of imprint cytology of breast lesions. The study was carried out on 90 patients of breast lumps at a tertiary care hospital over a period of 2 years. A detailed clinical history and routine investigations were noted. Imprint smears were taken from the excised lumps before fixation. Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) and Papanicoloau (PAP) staining was done. Fibroadenoma and infiltrating duct carcinoma were the commonest lesions found. On imprint cytology, out of 90 cases, 81 (90%) were diagnosed correctly. Imprint cytology when considered along with clinical features and gross appearance of the excised mass, can give an accurate diagnosis.

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...

Background and objectives: Soft tissue is a non-epithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body. Soft tissue tumors (STTs) are the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is minimally invasive, quick, and a definitive diagnostic modality. Biopsy for histopathology is the gold standard method for diagnosis but is invasive. The aims of this study were to determine th...

ABSTRACT We prospectively studied the usefulness of intraoperative cytology (directed scrape preparation) and frozen section in the diagnosis of 100 breast lesions (53 benign and 47 malignant). This study used sensetivity, specifity and accuracy as statistical tools based on binary principles. The intraoperative results have been compared with the final histological diagnosis, Intrao...

Background and Objective: Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limiting, transient neoplasm composed of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Since it regresses spontaneously, diagnosis by fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology plays a major role in its management. Methods: We present a series of 8 cases with either FNA or biopsy diagnosis of NF, and study the major...

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...
