“…Similar results were seen in other studies which showed predominant lesions being the inflammatory etiology showing reactive bronchial cells. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The sensitivity and specificity of BAL and BBC in our study was 51%, 100% 59.28% and 100% respectively. Similar results were observed by Prakash et al, and found that, sensitivity of BAL and BBC was found to be 47.61 %and 65.07 % respectively, whereas specificity of BAL and BBC was 75% each respectively.…”

“…The accuracy of Bronchial Brush Cytology in the diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma was 81.57%; in Bronchogenic Adenocarcinoma accuracy was 80%, in Small Cell Anaplastic Carcinoma 83.33% and in Large Cell Carcinoma it was 100%. [6] Rao S et al revealed that, BAL has low sensitivity and high specificity and is a valuable method that provides significant information in the evaluation of lung pathology. BAL showed a sensitivity of 52.63% and specificity of 80% with accuracy of 62.06%.…”

Background: In 1960’s, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope, was first used to give a better yield to diagnose pulmonary diseases. Bronchial brushing cytology (BBC) and Broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) are two important adjuncts done along with bronchoscopic biopsy. Bronchial brushings yield better diagnostic material than simple exfoliative cytology. Therefore, both techniques are of much diagnostic value and is widely accepted as it is safe, economical and evaluation requires much less time. Methods: All the bronchial brush and bronchoalveolar lavage smears obtained from January 2018 to December 2018 were assessed. Correlation was done with histopathology wherever was available. Result: BBC showed a sensitivity and specificity of 59.28% and 100%. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100% and 47.62%. BAL showed a sensitivity and specificity of 51% and 100%. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value was 100% and 43.18%. The diagnostic accuracy of BBC and BAL were 70.27% and 64.86%. Conclusion: Universally bronchial washings and bronchial brushings should be considered important adjunct to bronchoscopic biopsies to diagnose pulmonary lesions as both are safe, economical and can will give better diagnostic yield if incorporated together.

The incidence of lung cancer has been increasing in the recent years. Bronchial cytology using Papanicolaou society of cytopathology (PSC) system is an effective method for triaging patients. The present study attempts to evaluate the bronchial cytological diagnosis with histopathological correlation of lung lesions. Aims: i. To study the cytological features of lung lesions. ii. To assess the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of bronchial cytology of lung lesions in comparison with histopathology. Settings and Design: Prospective study at the tertiary care hospital. Methods and Material: It included 63 cases of lung lesions, evaluated using the PSC system for reporting respiratory cytology. The cytological diagnosis was correlated with the final histopathological diagnosis. The study was conducted between January 2019 and June 2020. Statistical Analysis Used: SPSS 20.0 software. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy of bronchial cytology was 60%, 89%, 90%, 58.62%, and 71.42%, respectively. Conclusions: Bronchial cytology including bronchial wash, bronchial brush, endobronchial ultrasound/transbronchial needle aspiration, and computerized tomography-guided fine needle aspiration cytology can be used to increase the sensitivity and specificity for definitive diagnosis and better management.
