Abstract
Cytopathology plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of lymphocytic effusions, which are fluid collections rich in lymphocytes often associated with conditions like infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. By examining the cytological features of the cells present in the effusion, cytopathologists can help distinguish between benign and malignant processes, identify specific infectious agents, and provide insights into underlying disease mechanisms. This information is vital for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring disease progression, making cytopathology an essential tool in the clinical evaluation of lymphocytic effusions.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Cytopathology is to publish articles relating to those aspects of cytology which will increase our knowledge and understanding of the aetiology, diagnosis and management of human disease. It contains original articles and critical reviews on all aspects of clinical cytology in its broadest sense, including: gynaecological and non-gynaecological cytology; fine needle aspiration and screening strategy.
Cytopathology welcomes papers and articles on: ultrastructural, histochemical and immunocytochemical studies of the cell; quantitative cytology and DNA hybridization as applied to cytological material.
