Appreciation of pattern in diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma from cytology specimen: Our experience with fine needle aspiration cytology and cell block in a resource constraint setup
Conclusion: Adequately cellular FNA smears and corresponding cell blocks of optimal quality can aid effectively in diagnosing adenocarcinoma and appreciating its pattern. Therefore, it would minimize the need for special stain and/or IHC with preservation of more material for molecular testing. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Utility of image guided fine needle aspiration cytology in intra-thoracic lesions with emphasis on lung cancer detection
Conclusion: Respiratory cytology remains the initial mode of investigation in intra-thoracic malignancies. The high sensitivity, low-cost and rapidity of the results works its advantages for both the patient and the clinician. High cellular yield obtained with the use of trans-bronchial needle aspiration and bronchial brushing rationalizes their use as a screening test to establish both malignant as well as non-malignant diagnoses. Further improvement in utilization of the available modalities and addition of ancillary testing can reduce the need of invasive procedures. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Contaminants and mimickers in cytopathology
Conclusions: Contaminants and mimickers can make the evaluation of cytologic specimens challenging and may necessitate secondary review by another pathologist or further workup. Knowledge and familiarity of these commonly encountered extraneous substances will help to prevent misinterpretation. (Source: Journal of Cytology)

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is presently the preferred modality for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes. There is an unmet need for standardization of processing and reporting of cytology specimens obtained by EBUS-TBNA. The manuscript is a state-of-the-art review on the technical aspects of processing and reporting of EBUS-TBNA specimens. A literature search was con...
