The records of two cytopathology laboratories, covering an aggregate of 33 years, were searched for pleural, peritoneal and pericardial fluids reported as containing cells of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This search embraced 9,297 serous fluids from 7,389 patients. Cells of SCCs were found in the fluids from only 46 patients, illustrating the infrequency of such a finding, with most of the SCC cells originating in primary neoplasms of the lung (16), female genital tract (8) or larynx (6). All of the recognized types of SCC cells were found in these fluids. Even so, SCC cells may be mistaken for cells of other neoplasms, such as adenocarcinoma and malignant mesothelioma. SCC cells in serous fluids should be identifiable if careful attention is paid to the morphologic features characteristic of SCC.
检索了两个细胞病理学实验室长达33年的记录，查找报告含有鳞状细胞癌（SCC）细胞的胸膜、腹膜和心包积液。此次检索涵盖了来自7389例患者的9297份浆液性积液。仅在46例患者的积液中发现了SCC细胞，这表明此类发现并不常见，大多数SCC细胞起源于肺（16例）、女性生殖道（8例）或喉（6例）的原发性肿瘤。在这些积液中发现了所有公认类型的SCC细胞。即便如此，SCC细胞可能会被误认为是其他肿瘤的细胞，如腺癌和恶性间皮瘤。如果仔细关注SCC的形态学特征，浆液性积液中的SCC细胞应该是可以识别的。
