“…A reference file of imprint slides with corresponding tissue sections should be maintained in the laboratory for teaching purposes. We concur with Bamforth's opinion that cytology should not be confined in a special department of its own but should be practised in the general laboratory (Bamforth and Osborn, 1958).…”

“…Another method is the examination of imprints of fresh specimens. This technique was favourably reported by Dudgeon and Patrick (1927) and Bamforth and Osborn (1958), but not until recently has it achieved the recognition it deserves in the English literature (Pickren and Burke, 1963;Tribe, 1965;Godwin, 1968;Silverberg, 1975;Suen et al, 1976;Godwin, 1976). Despite its simplicity, speed, and excellent cellular detail, we believe many centres are still not utilising the technique to its fullest extent.…”

SUMMARY Imprints prepared from fresh surgical specimens give excellent cytological clarity. Used intraoperatively, the imprint method can provide valuable information when frozen-section interpretation is equivocal. However, cytologically well-differentiated tumours and tumours with a dense fibrous stroma, constituting 6"0 of the cases in the present series, cannot be diagnosed by this method. To increase diagnostic accuracy we recommend the combined use of imprints and frozen sections. The imprint technique requires little additional work and does not delay the frozensection procedure.

“…A major technical advance was the use of stains to display the details of nucleus and cytoplasm (see Castiglioni, 1947;Bamforth and Osborn, 1958). Paul Ehrlich used stained air-dried films to identify the cells not only of blood but also of serous effusions.…”

“…Cancer can only be identified in sections showing the relation of cells to each other in group". [1] This view endorsed in favor of biopsy in 1922 and expressed by Bland Sutton is no more the raison d'etre for a pathologist. [2] Though HPE is considered to be the final arbitrator of the diagnosis a coup de maitre, with the advent of and increased expertise in cytomorphological studies it doesn't form the coup de grace.…”

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is routinely being used for the diagnosis of various neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions and for both superficial and deep seated lesions. Although FNAC has been used extensively in the diagnosis of head and neck masses, its use is underutilized as far as intraoral lesions are concerned. AIM: To assess the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Imprint Cytology in the diagnosis of common general surgical tumors. Methods: A prospective study of 147 patients of any age group, was carried out in Department of surgery in Tirunelveli medical college. Patients who are all presenting with general surgical tumors were assessed regardless of the age, size of the tumor and location of the tumor. Results: In the comparative study of FNAC and Imprint cytology with histopathology, the diagnostic accuracy to benign and malignant tumors was assessed. Out of the total 147 cases, 80 cases were benign and 67 were malignant. The diagnostic accuracy for imprint cytology amounts to 95% for benign and 93% for malignant lesions and for FNAC it is 81% and 79% for benign and malignant respectively. Conclusion: FNAC and Imprint cytology are rapid and reliable diagnostic indicators and helps to decide the mode of treatment. FNAC aids in arriving at a definite pre-operative diagnosis for tumors eliminating the need for open biopsy, whereas imprint cytology has a tremendous impact in the intraoperative diagnosis and planning especially in centers where frozen section is not available.
