About a century back histology was the only means of microscopic diagnosis of malignancy, since than two methods, exfoliative and nonexfoliative which includes aspiration cytology and imprint cytodiagnosis have gradually evolved.
Assessment of suitability of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, Imprint Cytodiagnosis and Histology in diagnosis of carcinomas.
Imprint cyto diagnosis, Fine needle aspiration and histopathogenesis
Seventy-four patients of carcinomas diagnosed by histopathogenesis taken as sample. Out of these 74 and 73 cases were diagnosed by imprint cytodiagnosis and F.N.A.C. respectively.
On comparision of results of all 74 cases obtained by Imprint cytodiagnosis, 72 (97.29%) were correctly diagnosed and 02(2.70%) false negative while nil percentage of false positive while in 73 cases diagnosed by F.N.A.C. 66(90.41%), 06(08.21%) and 01(01.36%) were correctly diagnosed, false negative and false positive respectively.
Imprint cytodiagnosis was found slightly better than Fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnostic accuracy.
