Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
A scrupulous assesment of body fluids for their cytomorphological properties plays a vital role in diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic aspect of various neoplastic and nonneoplastic pathological conditions. Hence we conducted a 5 year descriptive, analytical and retrospective study in a tertiary care centre from January 2012 to January 2017. A total of 4197 sample of effusion fluids from various sites were analyzed retrospectively. Pleural fluid cases, 2056(49%) was commonest followed by peritoneal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid with, 1847(44%) and 126(3%) cases respectively. Pericardial and Synovial fluid were least common with only 84(2%) cases each. Majority of cases were Reactive in nature. Metastatic adenocarcinoma was the commonest malignancy encountered in both pleural and peritoneal fluid. Most of the patients were in 5th decade with age range between 3 to 87 years. Male preponderance was observed with M: F ratio of 1.11:1.Although fluid cytology poses diagnostic dilemma in few cases, still it is cost effective, quick, relatively painless and simple technique that yields reliable and diagnostically significant results.
