Cytological investigation of punctates from other organs and tissues is a primary diagnostic procedure for detecting malignant neoplasms.
Cancer is not considered hereditary today. Spontaneous mutations arise from UV rays, X-rays, infections, viruses, chemicals, toxins, and congenital gene defects interacting with cellular processes like:
- Internal clocks;
- Mitosis;
- Senescence;
- Apoptosis.
A genetic disruption in these mechanisms leads to uncontrolled growth and neoplasms.
Modern medicine offers new non-surgical morphological analyses, revolutionizing early-stage oncology diagnostics.
Upon detecting a “cold nodule” during a preliminary exam, a punctate cell test is ordered, often avoiding surgery with no further verification needed.
Indications for Cytological Investigation of Punctates from Other Organs and Tissues
The test determines:
- Atypia;
- Spinal fluid wateriness (indicating bacterial meningitis);
- Malignancy;
- Multinucleated gametes (granulomatosis inflammation);
- Pleural fluid;
- Acute inflammation (infectious thyroiditis or arthritis);
- Multinucleated gametes (tuberculosis or sarcoidosis);
- Acantholytic cell presence;
- True pemphigus;
- Synovial fluid.
How Cytological Investigation of Punctates from Other Organs and Tissues Is Conducted
Samples are obtained using a thin, dry syringe needle with a mandrin, preferably without anesthetics or sedation.
It most commonly diagnoses thyroid diseases.
For thyroid cases, notes on nodule location, size, and iodine treatment are required.
For suspected thyroid cancer or follicular tumors, excisional thyroid biopsy is used.
High-quality samples free of blood, mucus, or impurities ensure accurate interpretation. No special preparation is needed, though avoid medications 2–4 days prior.
Completion Time for Cytological Investigation of Punctates from Other Organs and Tissues
Results are typically ready in 3–5 days, allowing additional tests for a fuller history.
