Ancillary studies on neoplastic cytologic specimens.
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a safe, simple, rapid, and cost-effective procedure that is often used as an initial diagnostic modality to work up primary and metastatic tumors at almost any body site. FNA allows acquisition of samples not only from superficial and large lesions, but also from smallor deep-seated lesions, or from multiple lesions during the same biopsy procedure. It provides v...
متن کاملMorphologic features of endometriosis in various types of cytologic specimens.

The specimens included cerebrospinal fluid, pleural and peritoneal effusions, urine and tracheal aspirates from 347 children with cancer. Malignant tumor cells were detected in 266 specimens obtained from 106 ch...
متن کاملNuclear protrusions in cells from cytologic specimens. Mechanisms of formation.
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanisms of formation of nuclear protrusions (NPs) encountered in cytologic specimens and specifically the possibility of their being the result of an aberrant division of the cell and to determine how widespread the NP phenomenon is in cells from various tissues. STUDY DESIGN Six hundred fifty-four cervical smears out of 5,000 with abundant cervical columnar epithe...
متن کاملFlow cytometric analysis of cytologic specimens in hematologic disease.
Cytologic evaluation of body fluids and fine needle aspirations (FNA) is frequently required in patients with hematologic diseases. In this study we have correlated immunophenotyping and DNA analysis by flow cytometry with cytologic findings and tissue biopsies from 20 patients with body fluid specimens and 5 with FNA. Nineteen of 25 cases, including all FNA cases, had an immunophenotype consis...
