Abstract
Background: Body cavity fluids are among the most frequently examined samples in cytology. Cytomorphology is supplemented by additive testing. An international system of terminology and classification has been recently presented.
Objectives: Cytopreparation and staining techniques as well as some exemplary morphological patterns are presented. "The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology" (TIS) is briefly presented.
Materials and methods: Pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites: special technical issues, immunocytochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and reporting system issues are discussed.
Results: Body cavity fluids are important samples that provide significant information. Additive testing is established for routine use. The form and structure of reports is widely divergent in practical use.
Discussion: A reporting system for serous fluid cytopathology that is easily applied and recognized internationally is highly desirable. TIS is a valuable approach to this goal.
期刊介绍：
Der Pathologe is an internationally recognized journal and combines practical relevance with scientific competence. The journal informs all pathologists working on departments and institutes as well as morphologically interested scientists about developments in the field of pathology.
The journal serves both the scientific exchange and the continuing education of pathologists.
Comprehensive reviews on a specific topical issue focus on providing evidenced based information under consideration of practical experience.
Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve the scientific exchange.
