    Lymphocytes in sputum are most common in patients with primary bronchial carcinoma, broncho-pneumonia, and tuberculosis. This finding aids in diagnosing various pulmonary conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Cytopathology

    Context:

    • Sputum cytology is a routine diagnostic tool.
    • Lymphocytic findings in sputum are often overlooked.
    • Understanding these findings can improve diagnostic accuracy.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the association between lymphocytes in sputum and various pulmonary diseases.
    • To determine the diagnostic significance of sputum lymphocytes.

    Summary:

    • Analyzed 116 hospitalized patients with lymphocytes in sputum.
    • Malignant neoplasms, particularly primary bronchial carcinoma (45.7%), were most frequent.
    • Other conditions included broncho-pleuropneumonia (12.0%) and active pulmonary tuberculosis (11.2%).

    Impact:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Lymphocytes in sputum are most frequent in primary bronchial carcinoma, broncho-pleuropneumonia, and pulmonary tuberculosis.
  • This cytomorphologic finding can be present in numerous other pulmonary parenchymal changes.
  • Highlights the potential of sputum cytology in diagnosing a spectrum of lung diseases.
