In the practice of forensic pathology, all of the disciplines of anatomic and clinical pathology, as well as other forensic sciences, are employed for the solution of medicolegal questions and cases. This is a brief review of the current applications of cytology to forensic pathology, presented for the benefit of both cytologists and other pathologists who may be involved in forensic work. Cytologic studies employing established methods of specimen collection and preparation are used for the determination of sex in both living and dead persons, for the determination of sex and for tissue identification in trace evidence and in the documentation of some disease processes occurring in the forensic setting. Correlation of the cytologic evidence with the investigative and clinical findings is mandatory. The application of cytology to forensic pathology is both proven and practical
在法医病理学实践中，解剖病理学和临床病理学的所有学科以及其他法医学科，都被用于解决法医学问题和案件。本文简要回顾了细胞学在法医病理学中的当前应用，以供可能参与法医工作的细胞学家和其他病理学家参考。采用既定标本采集和制备方法的细胞学研究，用于确定活体和死者的性别、确定微量证据中的性别和组织识别，以及记录法医环境中发生的一些疾病过程。细胞学证据与调查结果和临床发现的关联是必不可少的。细胞学在法医病理学中的应用既已得到证实，又切实可行。
