Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology

Context:

  • Pleural biopsies are crucial for diagnosing pleural effusions.
  • Diagnostic accuracy can be improved by combining cytological and histological analyses.

Purpose:

  • To assess the diagnostic utility of combined cytological and histological examination of pleural biopsy specimens.
  • To determine the yield of different diagnostic categories from pleural biopsies.

Summary:

  • Histological examination yielded useful specimens in 67.8% of cases, identifying non-specific changes (51.3%), malignant neoplasms (23.0%), and granulomatous inflammation (17.8%).
  • Cytological examination of 106 specimens revealed malignant neoplastic cells in 56.7% and granulomatous changes in 41.5%.

Impact:

  • Combined analysis enhances diagnostic accuracy for pleural diseases.
  • This approach aids in differentiating malignant from inflammatory pleural conditions, guiding patient management.
