As an addition to classical cytology, the authors propose this histological examination of the clot, which is frequently observed in pleural fluids. This clot is taken before any centrifugation which might alter the former cellular groups. This method has been undertaken on 98 cases out of 196. Only 61 clots were prepared according to the histological technique, out of which 24 were positive. The only criteria taken under consideration were the histioid, trabecular or glandular groups. This technique enables the authors to a precise diagnosis in about one third of the suspicious cases and, besides, to discover a few positive cases which had escaped the routine technique.
作为对经典细胞学的补充，作者提出了对凝块进行组织学检查的方法，这种凝块在胸腔积液中经常可见。在进行任何可能改变先前细胞群的离心操作之前采集这种凝块。该方法已应用于196例中的98例。按照组织学技术仅制备了61个凝块，其中24个呈阳性。唯一考虑的标准是类组织、小梁或腺体群。这项技术使作者能够在大约三分之一的可疑病例中做出准确诊断，此外，还能发现一些常规技术未能检测出的阳性病例。
