Role of scrape cytopathology in early diagnosis of neoplastic lesions& its histopathological correlation

Rakesh Mehar, Ashok Panchonia, CV Kulkarni.




Abstract

Background: Scrape cytology is quick method to know difference between benign & malignant lesions hence aid in early diagnosis. This can in turn lead to quick management even intra operatively. This diagnostic discipline has arisen in parallel but much before contemporary histology.

Aims & Objective: (1) To establish scrape cytology techniques as a routine procedure for diagnosis of surgical specimen; (2) To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of scrape cytological techniques in the diagnosis; (3) To study the merits and pitfalls of scrape cytological techniques in the diagnosis; (4) Correlations of findings of scrape cytology with histopathological findings.

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 100 surgical specimens submitted in Department of Pathology, MGM Medical College, Indore. Smears obtained were stained with Papanicolaou Stain & studied.

Results: Out of total 33 benign lesions, 31 (94%) were diagnosed correctly and 1 (3%) was false negative & 1 (3%) was not correlating well with histology. Out of total 67 malignant lesions 60 (89.6%) were diagnosed correctly, 2 (3.0%) were false negative and 5 (7.4%) did not correlated with histology.

Conclusion: Scrape cytology is rapid technique for diagnosis & can be utilized in place of frozen section as well as adjuvant to histological diagnosis.

Key words: Scrape; Cytology; Early Diagnosis; Surgical Pathology Comparison
