Diagnostic Efficiency of Touch Imprints Versus Smears

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Cytopathologists work along with radiologist in the diagnosis of lesions. Rapid on site interpretation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration (FNA) smears of radiologically suspicious lesions is a common clinical practice. In the last years, the investigators have seen trend towards needle core biopsies of radiologically suspicious lesions. The investigators want to analyze the challenges of rapid on site interpretation of touch imprints (TI) of needle core biopsies (NCB) versus fine needle aspiration smears.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a retrospective study in which the investigators will analyze the quality of the smears and the touch imprints, the cellularity, the cytomorphologic features of the specimens and the presence of adequate material for ancillary studies. The specimens will be searched through the University of Mississippi Medical Center's Pathology Laboratory information system (Copath), from January 2011 to December 2017. The retrospective cases (January 2011 up to now) will be retrieved using natural language search of fine needle aspiration and touch imprints. The slides of those cases will be reviewed and the cytomorphologic features will be described. ;
