What are the possible types of inflammation in cytology?
Suppurative, granulomatous, or eosinophilic
What should be considered when examining cytological samples under low power?
Quality of cells, background, and predominant cells
Which approach is used for unknown masses in cytology?
Determining if the sample is sufficient for diagnosis
What is the main focus when examining known tissues in cytology?
Matching the slide with the normal cell population
What is the purpose of considering possible pathologies in cytology?
To match the cytology with the narrowed list of possibilities
What are the possible types of neoplasia cell types in cytology?
Epithelia, round, or mesenchymal
What should be considered when examining cytological samples under high power?
Cell size, shape, variation, and abnormal mitoses
What is the purpose of analyzing the cystic content in cytology?
To match the slide with the normal cell population
Which of the following is a decision point when examining known tissues in cytology?
Is the sample adequate?
What are the three decision points to consider when performing cytology?
- Is the sample adequate? 2. Is the inflammation neoplastic or cystic? 3. What is the neoplasia cell type?
What are some factors to consider when examining cytological samples under low power?
Factors to consider include: quality of the sample, background characteristics, and predominant cell types.
What are the two approaches used in cytology for unknown masses?
The two approaches are: 1. Determine if the sample is sufficient for diagnosis. 2. Determine if there is evidence of inflammation or cystic content, or if it mainly consists of tissue cells indicating neoplasia.
What should be considered when examining known tissues in cytology?
When examining known tissues, it is important to ensure that the sample is sufficient for diagnosis and that it matches the expected cell population and possible pathologies.
What are some factors to consider when analyzing the cystic content in cytology?
Factors to consider include: determining the type of cystic content and whether it is associated with inflammation or neoplasia.
What are the cytological criteria of malignancy?
The cytological criteria of malignancy include cellular criteria (cells being in a place they do not belong), nuclear criteria (variation in shape or size, abnormal mitotic figures), and cytoplasmic criteria (basophilia/hyperchromasia, vacuolation, phagocytosis).
What are the different types of effusions classified based on protein count and cell count?
The different types of effusions are protein poor transudate, protein rich transudate, and exudate.
What are the possible cell types in the inflammatory cytology?
The possible cell types in the inflammatory cytology are neutrophils, lining cells (reactive mesothelial cells), and other cell types such as epithelial and lymphoid cells.
What are the main criteria for classifying lymphadenopathy?
The main criteria for classifying lymphadenopathy are reactive hyperplasia, lymphadenitis, metastatic neoplasia, and lymphoma.
What are the main features of reactive hyperplasia in cytology?
The main features of reactive hyperplasia in cytology include a heterogeneous cell population with a majority of small lymphocytes, low percentage of medium and large cells, and occasional plasma cells and macrophages.
