Aspiration Cytology

Aspiration Cytology is a diagnostic cytology method that involves aspiration (collection with a syringe and needle) of cells from a tumor or cyst for further study under a microscope.

The material obtained in this way is specially prepared (stained, etc.) and then examined by a cytologist. Aspiration cytology is now widely used, especially for the diagnosis of superficial cysts and tumors. This method allows you to obtain cells directly from the lesion for their detailed study and diagnosis.

Aspiration cytology has become a separate area of ​​diagnostic cytology due to its efficiency and simplicity. There is also a variation of this method - fine needle aspiration cytology, which uses very thin needles.



Aspiration cytology, also called aspiration biopsy, is a diagnostic method that allows cells to be obtained from a tumor or cyst using a syringe and a hollow needle for further microscopic examination after special preparation such as staining, etc.

This method is a very widely used technique for the study of superficial cysts and tumors, and has become a special area in diagnostic cytology.

Aspiration cytology is a minimally invasive technique that can obtain diagnostic samples from various areas of the body such as the thyroid, lungs, liver, kidneys and many others. This technique has several advantages over other biopsy techniques such as open biopsy and fine needle aspiration cytology.

First, aspiration cytology is a less invasive method, which means it causes less tissue trauma and less pain for the patient. Secondly, this method allows you to get quick results, which allows you to start treatment faster than using other methods. Third, aspiration cytology has higher diagnostic accuracy because it can sample from a wider area of ​​the tumor or cyst.

However, like any other diagnostic method, aspiration cytology has its limitations. For example, this method may not provide a complete picture of the tumor or cyst, and in some cases it may be necessary to use other biopsy methods.

Also worth mentioning is Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, which is a modification of aspiration cytology that uses a finer needle to obtain samples. This method allows for more accurate results and is often used to study tumors that cannot be palpated, as well as to diagnose various thyroid diseases.

In general, aspiration cytology is an important diagnostic method that is widely used in medicine. It provides quick results, has high diagnostic accuracy and is less invasive than many other biopsy methods. However, as with any other diagnostic method, it is necessary to consider its limitations and use it only in accordance with the recommendations of a doctor.



Aspiration cytology (cytological smear) is a method of cytological examination of samples of biological fluids, tissues and organs. This research method is more informative than traditional macrosmear biopsy. To select the material, use a needle on the blunt side, and then suck out a sample of tissue affected by the pathological process. This can be done in a small amount of blood, mucus or tissue fluid. The resulting material must then be transferred to the laboratory for further processing, including preparation of the specimen, Romanowsky-Giemsa staining, and microscopy. Preparation of the material involves transferring the sample to a laboratory vial with a large amount of the drug Lucille, which helps
