Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of cell block technique in the cytodiagnosis of some body cavity effusions at the 108 Military Central Hospital. Subject and method: A descriptive study on 1402 patients with 1786 times of performing cell block technique at the 108 Military Central Hospital from January 2017 to September 2021. Result and conclusion: The mean age of the patients was 63.3 ± 15.8 years; the ratio of men:women was 2.3:1. Pleural effusion accounted for the majority (75%); yellow fluid was the main color (61.3%); the volume of fluid less than or equal to 250ml accounted for the highest percentage (65.7%). The cytodiagnosis showed that the number of benign cases accounted for a high rate of 70.5%, the rate of malignancy and suspected malignancy accounted for 27.7%. The cell block technique was highly effective in the cytodiagnosis of some body cavity effusions with the success rate of 98.2%. The majority of cases that did not form a cell block were pleural fluid (78.1%), yellow (62.5%) and volume less than 50ml was 53.1%.
