Cytologic detection of tuberculosis of the uterine cervix.

Tubercular cervicitis was diagnosed by cytologic examination of vaginal smears in three cases. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic studies. Correct recognition of the epithelioid cells gave the best clue to the cytologic diagnosis.

Increase in accuracy of typing of carcinoma of the uterine cervix by combined use of histology and cytology.

Seventy-five cases of carcinoma of the uterine cervix were typed by histologic examination of cervical biopsies and cytologic analysis of cervical smears. A complete agreement in typing by the two methods was seen in 60 cases (80.0%). In eight cases (10.7%) cytologic and in seven cases (9.3%) histologic examination was found to be better for typing. In general, cytology was better in identifying keratinizing carcinomas, while biopsy was better in identifying adenosquamous and adenocarcinomas. It is recommended that the typing of carcinoma of the cervix should be based on the results of both cytology and histology.

Cytologic detection of parasitic disorders.

Parasitic diseases are common in developing countries; yet they are infrequently diagnosed in cytologic material. Six cases are described where routine cytologic examination identified the parasites and suggested the diagnosis. There were three cases of Entamoeba histolytica infection of the female genital tract and one each of hydatid cyst of the brain, Strongyloides stercoralis infection of the lung and filarial infection of the urinary bladder. To our knowledge, cytologic diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the brain and filarial infection of the urinary bladder has not been previously reported.

Cystic change in lymph nodes with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma.

A retrospective analysis was performed of the gross characteristics of aspirated material in 335 consecutive cases of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in cervical/supraclavicular lymph nodes seen during a three-year period. In 57 cases (17.01%), 1-2 mL of fluid was obtained. Microscopic examination of cytocentrifuge smears in all cases showed malignant squamous cells. Cystic change in lymph nodes harboring metastatic squamous cell carcinoma was frequently associated with a tongue primary (21/58 cases, 36.2%) followed by an esophageal primary (4/16 cases, 25%). The frequency of cystic change varied from 9.1% to 21.5% with primaries in the oral cavity, nasopharynx, lung, uterine cervix and unknown sites.
