J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2006: 32(3) A recent paper1 reported a systematic evaluation of the literature comparing liquid-based cytology (LBC) and conventional cervical cytology, and has concluded that there is no evidence that LBC reduced the proportion of unsatisfactory slides or detected more high-grade lesions. To many in the UK, where LBC has replaced conventional cytology or is in th...

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study is the comparison of the results of conventional smear (CC) technique and liquidbased cytology (LBC) technique used as cervical cancer screening methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS The results of 47954 patients submitted to smear screening in our gynecology clinic between January 2008 and December 2014 have been studied.

Background: Fluid cytology plays an important role in delineating benign from malignant effusions, tumor staging, and also diagnosing recurrences. Various methods are used for the preparation of smears. As accurate diagnosis fluids aids clinical decisions, method smears, it is very important. Cytospin smears one which provide higher cellular yield with better preservation morphology less time c...

Cervical cytology is accepted worldwide for early detection of cervical neoplasia since the inception of the conventional Pap smear. The 2001 Bethesda Terminology System implemented the criteria for determining the squamous cell cytologic abnormalities as atypical squamous cells (ASC), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and squamo...

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...
