Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose (Surgicel ®) on Cytology/Histology

Conclusion: Assessment of the findings and based on the similar histologic appearance reported in previous cases associated with Surgicel ® [Ann Thorac Med. 2017;12(1):55 –6,Cancer Cytopathol. 2019;127(12):765 –70, andArch Bronconeumol. 2020;56(7):459 –71], the station 7 acellular, amorphous, and hyaline-like exogenous material found in our case was interpreted as hemostatic agent compatible with Surgicel® (or oxidized regenerated cellulose). This case highlights the importance of cytologic/histologic recognition of hemostatic agents, specific ally oxidized cellulose mesh.Acta Cytologica
