Cytologic identification of serous neoplasms in peritoneal fluids

Abstract

The distinction of RM from serous neoplasms in peritoneal fluids is possible in most patients by examination of cell group architecture, nuclear atypia, and nuclear size. Differentiation of SBT from grade 1 SCA is not reliable, meriting a differential diagnosis. Most high-grade SCA specimens can be identified by increased nuclear atypia, overlap, and size.
