Utility of Ancillary Techniques in Cytopathology to Detect Relapse in a Known Case of T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Hematological Remission
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration offers a suitable alternative to biopsy in a variety of clinical settings, and there are many studies demonstrating the possibility of using it not only for diagnosis but also to assess therapy response. Case report: Here we describe a case of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who although was in hematological remission but had central nervous system, testicular and skin involvement which was detected using cytology and ancillary techniques thereby altering the therapy. Conclusion: Use of FNA and ancillary techniques are reliable non invasive modalities that can establish not only the diagnosis but also should be used to accurately monitor
