Improvization of conventional cytology by centrifuged liquid-based cytology in oral exfoliative cytology specimen

BACKGROUND Exfoliative cytology is the microscopic examination of shed or desquamated cells from the epithelial surface. Centrifuged liquid-based cytology (CLBC) is a modified technique that was used in the current study. AIMS To compare the efficacy of CLBC with conventional cytology in apparently normal mucosa after staining with Papanicolaou (PAP) stain. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty cases...

Efficacy of Manual Liquid Based Cytology over Conventional Cytology in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Context/Background: Oral cytology has come long way from its primitive Papanicolau days. Liquid Based cytology has shown significant advantages over conventional exfoliative cytology. However, LBC requires expensive automated devices and materials which might not be affordable for many cytopathological laboratories in countries with limited resources. Manual liquid Based Cytology (MLBC) is a te...

Atlas of Exfoliative Cytology

The Atlas of Exfoliative Cytology is a valuable distillate of the vast experience of the master cytologist, Dr. George N. Papanicolaou. The doubtless heavy subsidy from the Commonwealth Fund has been well employed. The book has been prepared in all modesty in loose-leaf form "to keep abreast of new advances," and an appeal is made for new material. As befits an atlas, the illustrations are many...

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis diagnosed by conventional cytology and liquid based cytology.

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL; Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease) is a rare benign disorder. The diagnosis of HNL is established on recognizing the characteristic histologic findings from biopsy of the enlarged lymph nodes. Though diagnosis of HNL by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) was reported, the characteristic fine-needle aspiration cytologic features with conventional cytology and a liqui...
