Role of Intraoperative Pathology Consultation by Imprint and Scrape Cytology in Soft Tissue Tumors and Tumor-Like Lesions

Abstract: Intraoperative pathologic consultation plays an essential role in therapeutic decision making, possibly avoiding under or overtreatment of the patient. Common indications for intraoperative consultation include obtaining a diagnosis in an unknown pathology, ruling out malignancy, confirming a provisional diagnosis, and assessing margin status. Fifty patients undergoing surgery for soft tissue tumors or tumor-like lesions were included in the present prospective study to evaluate the role of intraoperative path… Show more

“…The appropriate method depends on the size and consistency of the tissue that is sampled. As emphasized by Gautman et al 17 cytological preparations should be harvested from solid, discolored, non‐necrotic, and non‐hemorrhagic areas. Also, direct imprint cytology should be preferred when tissue cut surface is “shiny” (highly likely very cellular), and scrape cytology when tissue cut surface in “dull” (likely less cellular).…”
