Metastatic Melanoma in Ascitic Fluid: Cytological Features

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 18:00:00 +0300

Metastatic melanoma in ascitic fluid. Tumor cells are discretely arranged, with abundant cytoplasm and eccentric oval nuclei containing prominent nucleoli. Characteristic melanin pigment (brown granules) is visible in the cytoplasm. The pigment is also phagocytosed by surrounding macrophages. Location: ascitic fluid.

Sysmex XN Analyzer for Effusion Fluid Analysis

Thu, 15 May 2025 11:00:01 +0300

🧪 Analysis of Body Fluids: Automation vs. Microscope

A study showed that the new hematology analyzer Sysmex XN-2000 performs excellently in counting cells in ascitic and pleural fluid and other biomaterials 🧫. In the absence of tumor cells, the automatic mode yields results comparable to manual counting (up to 96% accuracy 🔬).

Mesothelium in Ascitic Fluid: Native Specimen Microscopy

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 20:30:00 +0300

🔬 Ascitic fluid. Native specimen. Mesothelium against a background of erythrocytes and leukocytes. Magnification 400x.

Reference information: Mesothelium is a single layer of squamous epithelium of serous membranes lining body cavities (peritoneum, pleura, pericardium) in vertebrate animals and humans, formed from the mesoderm. It consists of flat polygonal cells with tightly closed edges. In mammals and humans, the outer surface of mesothelial cells is covered with microvilli, which are involved in the absorption and secretion of cavity fluid by these cells.

Ascitic Fluid Cytology: Atypical Cells Morphology

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 20:30:00 +0300

🔬 Ascitic Fluid. Native Preparation and Romanowsky Staining

Atypical cells are cells that differ from normal cells in their structure, size, shape, etc. Such cells are prone to rapid atypical division (amitosis), which leads to tissue overgrowth and the formation of malignant tumors.

Ascites Cytology in Signet-Ring Cell Adenocarcinoma

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 13:37:00 +0300

🔬 Ascitic fluid cytology from a 55-year-old woman with ascites. ❗Adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cells

✅ The smear shows densely packed clusters of malignant cells with large pleomorphic nuclei. Several large mucinous cells show vacuolated cytoplasm and peripherally displaced nuclei. 👉 The patient’s tumor marker CA 125 was 2150 units/mL.
