Malignant cells were detected in the pleural effusion of a patient with three separate primary malignancies. These cells were judged by conventional morphologic studies to be poorly differentiated cells, but cytochemical studies showed them to be granulocytic precursor cells. The use of cytochemical or immunochemical techniques may be most practical for the cytodiagnosis of malignant cells in serous effusions.
在一名患有三种独立原发性恶性肿瘤的患者的胸腔积液中检测到恶性细胞。通过传统形态学研究判断这些细胞为低分化细胞，但细胞化学研究表明它们是粒细胞前体细胞。细胞化学或免疫化学技术的应用对于浆液性积液中恶性细胞的细胞诊断可能最为实用。
