Impression cytology는 결막상피의 표층을 떼어내기 위해 안구 표면에 cellulose acetate filter 재질을 같이 이용한다. 이 방법은 비 침습적이고 쉽게 시행할 수 있으며 환자에게 최소한의 불편감을 주며 결막표면에 반복해서 시행하여 변화를 관찰하기 위해 사용될 수 있다. 이 방법으로 결막 표면의 형태학적 연구와 squmaous metaplasia의 정도를 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구는 건성안 환자에서 impression cytology를 이용하여 결막표면을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 70명의 콘택트렌즈 비착용 학생을 대상으로 조사하였는데 먼저 조사 대상자들에게 McMonnies dry eye symptom questionnaire을 작성하도록 하였다. 그리고 비침습성 tear thinning time(TTT) 검사를 시행하고 다음에 침습성 검사인 Schirmer tear test(SIT), tear film break-up time(TBUT) tests 그리고 Rose-bengal staining올 시행하여 건성안 의심자를 분류하였다. 하 안구결막으로부터 결막 상피세포는 impression cytology기법으로 수집하여 PAS(Periodic Acid Schift)-haematoxylin 염색을 시행하였다. 배상세포와 결막상피세포는 광학현미경 400배에서 관찰하여 squamous metaplasia의 정도에 근거한 Nelson Grading scale에 따라 분류하였는데 이는 배상세포 밀도, 세포의 크기와 형태, 핵:세포질 비 등을 포함한다. 건성안 의심자는 상피세포의 형태적 변화, 핵의 변화, 배상세포 밀도 감소를 보였다. 세포학적 변화 정도는 건성안 조건의 정도에 관련이 있었다. 상피세포 형태를 Nelson의 분류시스템으로 단계를 나눈 결과 대조군의 91.43%가 grade 0 이었고 8.57%가 약간의 이상형태인 grade 1이었다. 반면에 건성안 의심자에서는 20%가 grade 0, 42.86%가 grade 1, 34.29%가 grade 2 그리고 2.86%가 심한 형태적 변화를 보인 grade 3를 나타냈다. Impression cytology는 부작용이나 거부반응이 없는 안구 표면 상피의 비 침습적 또는 최소 침습적 생검법으로 생각되며 안구표면을 포함하는 광범위한 과정을 위한 유용한 진단 기법으로 안전하고 간단하며 건성안 의심자의 다양한 안구 표면 변화의 이해를 증진시키는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A 13-yr-old Shih tzu was referred for surgical management of right-sided cranial abdominal mass, which corresponded to large, cavitated renal mass on ultrasonography, and was suspected to represent neoplasia. Intraoperative impression smear cytology (ISC) of the renal mass wall was consistent with benign renal cyst (RC), without evidence of neoplasia or infection. Deroofing and omentalisation were performed and histopathology was consistent with benign RC. Chronic kidney disease was diagnosed 4 mon postoperatively, however, the dog was asymptomatic, without cyst reoccurrence. Intraoperative ISC is an expedient and inexpensive diagnostic technique that can guide most appropriate treatment in dogs with large RCs.

Background: To evaluate the overtreatment rate with the see and treat approach in the management of women with abnormal cervical cytology. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of patients with abnormal cervical cytology who underwent S&T at MSMC between January 2008 and December 2012 was conducted. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), histological results, cytology and colposcopic impression were analyzed to evaluate overtreatment rate, cyto-histologic correlation and related factors. Results: Average age of S&T cases was 42 years. Ninety seven percents were referred from affiliated health care providers. The study revealed 83.2% patients had HSIL or higher from cervical cytology. Correlation between HSIL and final histology was relatively low at 75% compared to other studies. Overtreatment rate was 28%. Conclusions: S&T was done in 197 patients in a tertiary care health facility with patient satisfaction. Overtreatment occurred, but the rate can be reduced with appropriate recommendations. HSIL Pap smears should be reexamined before S&T while low grade and lesser colposcopic impression groups should obtain conventional colposcopic approach for patient future reproductive benefit.

We describe a case of fine needle aspiration cytology of renal angiomyolipoma which was not associated with the clinical complex of tuberous sclerosis and was incidentally found. It was a solitary lesion and the clinical impression before needle aspiration was renal ceil carcinoma. The aspirated specimen showed mature fat cells, clusters of renal tubular epithelial cells and sheets of pleomorphic smooth muscle cells with fibrillary cytoplasm. The nuclei of smooth muscle celis varied in size and shape. Since the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma differs from that of renal ceil carcinoma, the preoperative cytological diagnosis is of great value.

Electron microscopy (EM) can provide a valuable contribution to light microscopy (LM) In the Interpretation of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) specimen, especially in the diagnosis of the tumor. However, considerable care in processing the specimen is mandatory to recover the cells and avoid altering the fine structures. We experienced a case of malignant melanoma in 33-yrs-old female, diagnosed by EM study of FNAC specimen from the axillary mass, who was initially thought as disseminated carcinomatosis on LM study. The technique of EM study on FNAC specimen consisted of washing the needle and syringe in 2.5% glutaraldehyde after a rapid stain (Diff-Quik), which was used to obtain a preliminary diagnostic impression and to assure the adequacy of the EM specimen. After centrifugation in the steps of fixation and dehydration, the sediment was made into an epon block and examined. The whole processing time of EM study can be shortened within 7 or 8 hours, and results can be available within 48 to 72 hours. Our experience suggests the EM study on FNAC can be a useful diagnostic method in the diagnosis of difficult FNAC cases.

A 31-year-old female visited O.P.D. of internal medicine, Kyung Hee Medical center, with the chief complaint of generalized weakness and headache. She took a routine chest P-A and there was a 6.5 x 7.5 cm sized round mass in the right middle lung field. She admitted to the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery under the impression of malignant bronchogenic carcinoma with the remit of bronchoscopy and sputum cytology and tomogram. Middle and lower lobectomy of right lung was performed and postoperative surgical biopsy revealed out the plasma cell granuloma. The plasma cell granuloma may occur as a solitary nodule in the lung or be associated with systemic disease, plasma protein imbalance, or nonspecific local inflammatory reaction . More than two third of the reported patients were less than 30 year of age. Grossly the lesion appears reddish-brown and microscopic features include pallisade or a cartwheel distribution of plasma cells with Russel bodies and amyloid. Local excision or lobectomy has been curative in most cases.

A 6-year-old spayed female American Cocker Spaniel presented with episcleritis in the right and then the left eye (OS) at eight month interval. Repeated intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was administered subconjunctivally to both eyes (OU). During this period, scleral ectasia was revealed on ocular funduscopy OS and then confirmed on ultrasonography and computed tomography. A year later, conjunctival hyperemia occurred around remnant triamcinolone particles and was treated by resection of these particles in the OU. A recurrence of episcleritis, which did not regress, required repeated triamcinolone subconjunctival injections four months later in the OU. Four months after these injections OU, the dog was presented with bilateral conjunctival mass, which had developed over the previous month. The round-shaped masses with diameters of 1 cm were surgically resected from exposed scleral ectasia lesion of thin and bulging scleral surface in the OU. The cross-section of both masses showed a white-colored accumulation at the center and triamcinolone induced granulomas enclosing necrotic tissue were confirmed by impression cytology and histopathological examination.

A 5-year-old spayed female mixed-breed dog, previously receiving 7 months of immunosuppressive therapy for pemphigus foliaceus, presented to our referral hospital with a history of dog bites on the right forelimb, chest, and flank 4 days prior to presentation. Physical examination revealed a rectal temperature of 38.6℃; heart rate of 130 beats per minute; panting; systolic blood pressure of 60 mmHg; and swelling, purulent discharge, warmth, pain, and lameness in the right forelimb. The laboratory investigation revealed neutropenia and elevated C-reactive protein levels. Suppurative neutrophilic infiltration with bacterial infection was detected by impression cytology of the pus on the right forelimb. Based on the results of the clinical examinations and laboratory tests, the dog was diagnosed with dog bite-induced sepsis with pemphigus. Meropenem and metronidazole were prescribed. Clinical signs, neutropenia, and C-reactive protein levels markedly improved after 5 days. Subsequently, pemphigus foliaceus relapsed in the dog, and it is currently undergoing re-administration of immunosuppressive medications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of successful management of dog bite-induced sepsis in a dog undergoing long-term immunosuppressive therapy.

말초성 신경아세포종은 예후가 나쁘고 희귀한 종양으로 이 종양의 세침흡인 세포학적 소견에 관한 보고는 세계 문헌상 1988년 Neuhold에 의해 처음 기술된 1례가 있을 따름이다. 최근 저자들은 30세 여자의 우측 상박의 연부조직 종괴로 부터 세침흡인 세포 검사를 시행하여 진단된 말초성 신경아세포종을 경험하여 그 세침흡인 세포학적 소견을 기술하는 바이다. 환자는 1개월전 부터 우측 상박에 서서히 자라는 종괴를 주소로 내원하였다. 우측 상박 X-선 및 초음파 촬영술에서 주위와 잘 경계지어진 방추형의 연부조직 종괴가 관찰되었고 주변조직으로 침윤하는 소견은 관찰할 수 없었으며 상완골은 정상이었다. 종괴의 세침흡인 도말은 세포밀도가 매우 높았고 작고 둥근 세포들이 뭉쳐있거나 산재되어 있었다. 세포간의 크기나 모양의 차이는 아주 미약하였고 유사분열은 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 종양세포들의 집단은 간혹 모세혈관을 중심으로 뭉치거나, 로제트 형태를 보이며 그 세포질은 가늘고 긴 돌기를 보였다. 핵은 뚜렷한 핵막과 미세하게 뭉친 염색질 및 작고 뚜렷한 핵 소체를 갖고 있었다. 이상의 소견은 작고 둥근 세포로 된 악성 종양 중 말초성 신경아세포종에 매우 합당하였으나 골외 Ewing 육종과의 감별은 불가능하였다. 단순 절제술이 시행되었고 종양은 조직학적으로 말초성 신경아세포종임이 확인되었다.
