Lymph node and splenic imprints: their value in diagnosis.

D C Cowling, B Ungar, J D Hicks

    Pathology
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Histological sections are definitive for diagnosing lymph node and spleen disorders, while imprints offer supplementary information. Definitive diagnoses rely on tissue sections, not imprints alone.

    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Hematology
    • Diagnostic Cytology

    Background:

    • Lymph node and spleen biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hematological disorders.
    • Imprints and histological sections are common diagnostic methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic value of lymph node and spleen imprints versus histological sections.
    • To determine the utility of imprints in diagnosing hematological conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 100 lymph node biopsies and 55 spleen samples.
    • Comparison of diagnostic information from imprints and histological sections.

    Main Results:

    • Histological sections provided definitive diagnoses in most cases.
    • Imprints rarely allowed for a definitive diagnosis but offered complementary information.
    • Imprints aided in the interpretation of histological section findings.

    Conclusions:

    • Histological sections are essential for definitive diagnosis of lymph node and spleen pathologies.
    • Imprints serve as a valuable adjunct to histology, enhancing diagnostic interpretation in hematological disorders.
