Cytomorphological analyses of malignant lymphomas in serous effusions / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of cytomorphological analyses of malignant lymphomas in serous effusions .Methods Aspirating serous effusion were analyzed immediately ,then centrifugated ,stained with Wright-Giemsa ,and observed under micro-scope .The cytomorphological characteristics of lymphomas in serous effusions was analysed .Results 62 cases of malignant lym-phomas were found in 1 440 cases of the serous effusion .The diagnosis efficiencies of lymphomas were 89 .55% for sensitivity , 99 .85% for specificity ,96 .77% for positive expectant value ,99 .49% for negative expectant value and 99 .38% for total effective rate .Lymphoma cells were watched more in pleural effusion(46 cases) than in ascites(18 cases) and pericardial effusion(3 cases) . Cytomorphology of lymphomas included vacuoles ,large cells ,small cells and irregular cells .Conclusion The cytomorphological analysis of malignant lymphomas in serous effusion has an instructive significance to the clinical auxiliary diagnosis .
