Thin-needle aspiration cytology is a well-known minimally invasive technique that is used in the diagnosis of neoplastic disease. The same biopsy technique provides a means for immediate identification of actinomycosis. Aspiration specimens may be used for morphologic studies, as well as for microbiologic isolation. The diagnostic histologic feature of sulfur granules remains intact with this cytologic aspiration technique. This technique is a safe, simple, and rapid means of diagnosing actinomycosis and appears to have value in the diagnosis of other infectious diseases as well.
细针穿刺细胞学检查是一种众所周知的用于诊断肿瘤性疾病的微创技术。同样的活检技术为放线菌病的即时诊断提供了一种方法。穿刺标本可用于形态学研究以及微生物分离。采用这种细胞学穿刺技术，硫磺颗粒的诊断性组织学特征保持完整。该技术是诊断放线菌病的一种安全、简单且快速的方法，并且似乎在其他传染病的诊断中也具有价值。
