Diagnostic cytology of effusion fluids

Cytological diagnosis is the science dealing with the examination of cells from the human body and their interpretation for diagnostic purposes. The cells may have been spontaneously exfoliated or removed by artificial means. The subject has assumed great importance in the last few decades, and the possibilities of this field of pathology seem to be by no means exhausted. The concept has been greatly influenced by the well known work of Papanicolaou on the cytologlcal aspects of cancer in the female genital tract.
