Methods: The present study consisted of 100 resected specimen received in the department of pathology over the period of 18 months from May 2016 to November 2017. Imprints were made by touching the clean glass slides over the involved area of the resected specimen and smears were stained with Papanicolaou (PAP) stain. Results: The present study included 47% were males and 53% were females. Out of the total 100 specimen, 78% were found to be malignant and remaining 22% were benign.
