Q
  • USED FOR DIAGNOSING ANY PALPABLE LESIONS AND DEEP-SEATED/NON-PALPABLE LESIONS
A

ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY

13
Q

TECHNIQUES IN EXFOLIATIVE CYTOLOGY:

  1. Centrifuge the fluid.
  2. Decant the supernatant.
  3. Pour 1⁄2 of the sediments over 10% formalin for cell block until they harden.
  4. Place the hardened sediments on a filter paper.
  5. Process the sediments for microtomy.
  6. Stain them using the Papanicolaou stain.
  7. Mount the sediments.
  8. Label the slide.
A

CELL BLOCK TECHNIQUE (“MICROBIOPSY”)

13
Q

TECHNIQUES IN EXFOLIATIVE CYTOLOGY:

The advantages include:
1. Improved cell representation;
2. Improved specificity and sensitivity because of better fixation and well- visualized nuclear details;
3. Abnormal cells are clearly seen and easily identified. They are not obscured by blood, mucus, and inflammatory cells. This results in a low rate of unsatisfactory cervico-vaginal cytology smears
4. The remaining or residual cell suspension can be used to make further cytological preparations or other tests like the detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA and immunocytochemistry.
