The role of cytology in the evaluation of pericardial effusions.
Pericardial effusions from 47 patients were examined for cancer cells. Fluids from 13 of the 15 patients with neoplasm involving the pericardium were decisively "positive." There were no false positive reports. Three patients had malignancy localized to the chest, but not metastatic to the pericardium. Ef-fusions from these three patients contained no tumor cells. The accumulation of fluid in a...
متن کاملThe Value of Cytology in the Diagnosis of Pleural Effusions
The aim of this study is to assess the value of cytology in the diagnosis of pleural effusions. It is a retrospective review of the patients with pleural effusions admitted at our clinic in a 8-year period. We evaluated the cytological and diagnostic results of 470 patients. Male to female ratio was 3:1 with a mean age of 38.6 years (range 18-76 years). Samples were processed and evaluated acco...
متن کاملThe Case for Exfoliative Cytology of Serous Effusions.
DESPITE a world-wide surge of interest in the cytological detection of cancer, uncertainty about the usefulness of searching for cancer cells in serous effusions still lingers, and this feeling seems strong in Britain, where exfoliative cytology is gaining rather tardy acceptance. In fact, one British laboratory’s poor results with the exfoliative cytology of serous fluids have been adduced to ...
متن کاملThe use of cytology to evaluate pericardial effusions.
Pericardial effusions from 27 patients were examined cytologically during the five-year period of 1973-1977. Malignant cells were found in eight cases (30 percent). In three of these patients malignancy was unsuspected clinically, and this was the first time the cancer was diagnosed. In addition, cytology often suggested the specific histological types and possible primary sites to be determine...
متن کاملHow to Interpret Cytology From Body Cavity Effusions
Abdominocentesis and thoracocentesis are commonly used diagnostic tools in equine practice. Abdominocentesis is one of the standard diagnostic tests used in evaluating colic patients and is often performed to (1) differentiate strangulating from nonstrangulating lesions; (2) confirm gastrointestinal rupture; (3) document, evaluate, and monitor peritonitis as well as the identify-specific microo...
