Cytopathology – Expert Opinion; Includes FNAC, Cytology

Test Overview:
Cytopathology Expert Opinion is a specialized review of cytological specimens by an experienced pathologist/cytopathologist to establish or clarify a diagnosis. The evaluation may include Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and other cytology specimens.

Includes:

• FNAC specimen review
• Cytology slide examination
• Assessment of cellular morphology
• Evaluation for benign, inflammatory, suspicious, or malignant changes
• Review of previously prepared cytology slides/reports, when applicable
• Expert second opinion in difficult or doubtful cases
• Correlation with clinical and imaging findings, where provided

Sample Types:
FNAC smears, body fluids, exfoliative cytology specimens, and other cytological preparations as applicable.

Clinical Use:
Useful when an initial cytology diagnosis requires specialist confirmation, second opinion, or clarification, particularly in cases with atypical, suspicious, or diagnostically challenging cellular findings.

Reporting:
The final report provides the expert cytopathology interpretation and, where appropriate, recommendations for further investigation such as cell block, ancillary testing, immunocytochemistry/IHC, or biopsy.
