Imprint cytotechnique was employed in 20 cases of maligant skin tumours (11 squamous cell carcinoma, 4 basal cell carcinoma and 5 malignant melanoma) to evaluate the reliability of the technique by comparing the results with histologic diagnosis. In ten cases margins of the excised tumours were also subjected to imprint and histopathologic studies to assess the clearance of malignancy. All the tumours were correctly diagnosed in imprint smears. Similarly 100% cytohistopathologic correlation was also obtained in the assessment of excisional margins of the tumours. The technique of imprint cytology may be employed for quick diagnosis of skin cancers and in assessment of clearance of surgical field during surgery.
对20例恶性皮肤肿瘤(11例鳞状细胞癌、4例基底细胞癌和5例恶性黑色素瘤)采用印片细胞学技术,通过与组织学诊断结果比较来评估该技术的可靠性。在10例病例中,对切除肿瘤的边缘也进行了印片和组织病理学研究,以评估恶性肿瘤的切除情况。所有肿瘤在印片涂片中均得到正确诊断。同样,在评估肿瘤切除边缘时,细胞组织病理学相关性也达到了100%。印片细胞学技术可用于皮肤癌的快速诊断以及手术中手术野切除情况的评估。
