Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 17
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intra operative imprint smears are extensively used in neoplastic & non-neoplastic conditions. This has been proved beneficial in tumors of breast, thyroid parathyroid, head and neck tumors, kidneys, reproductive organs & in general deep seated solid viscera where in preoperative access for biopsy is difficult. Misdiagnosis or over diagnosis of carcinoma has been prevented through the study of imprint cytology. It is an acceptable and reliable method within the field of cytopathology. RESULTS The study was done in Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Medical College. One hundred cases were evaluated from 1995 to 2012 in freshly resected Lymph nodes, soft tissues, kidney, prostate, thyroid and bone.
