Ai ms & Objective: (1) To establish scrape cytology techniques as a routine procedure for diagnosis of surgical specimen; (2) To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of scrape cytological techniques in the diagnosis ; (3) To study the merits and pitfalls of scrape cytological techniques in the diagnosis ; (4) Correlations of findings of scrape cytology with histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: This wa s a prospective study of 100 surgical specimens submitted in Department of Pathology, M GM Medical College, Indore. Smears obtained were stained with Papanicolaou Stain & studied. Results: Out of total 33 benign lesions, 31 (94% ) were diagnosed correctly and 1 (3%) was false negative & 1 (3%) was not correlating well with histology. Out of tot al 67 malignant lesions 60 (89 .6%) were diagnosed correctly, 2 (3.0%) were false negative and 5 (7.4%) did not correlated with histology.
