Intraoperative diagnosis of @entity2670 can be achieved by gross examination with the help of frozen sections and/or cytologic examination. Various cytologic techniques, including imprint, fine-needle aspiration, and scrape, may be used. In this study, we evaluated the application of scrape cytology in the diagnosis of @entity2670 occurring during a 16-mo period at one institution. The cytologic diagnosis was primarily based on findings in air-dried, Diff-Quik-stained smears in correlation with clinical and intraoperative findings. In total, 131 histologically proven @entity2670 , including 13 @entity75 , 47 @entity5 , 17 @entity5 of low malignant potential (LMP), and 54 @entity5 (35 primary, 1 @entity1778 , and 18 @entity3 ), were cytologically examined. The accuracy of scrape cytology was 95% in the benign, 47% in the LMP, and 98% in the malignant group. In the LMP group, the false-negative rate was 12%, while the deferred rate and false-positive rate were 24% and 18%, respectively. There was no misdiagnosis between the benign and malignant categories. The histologic subtypes were correctly predicted in 78% of cases. There were limitations of scrape cytology in the diagnosis of LMP and @entity5 , which require histologic architectural evaluation and adequate histologic sampling. Scrape cytology is a simple, rapid, and inexpensive adjunctive technique that should be used in intraoperative consultation for @entity2670 .
