A Potpourri of Lymphoma Cases Illustrating a Practical Guide to Delivering a Clinically Meaningful Diagnosis to the Treating Physician
Ruth L. Katz, MD
+Show/Hide Description
Educational Objectives:
1. Evaluate both Pap smears and Diff-Qik smears for the presence of lymphoma and create a differential diagnosis
2. Learn the value of immunophenotyping both by cytospin immunocytochemistry as well as by flow cytometry
3. Learn how to grade lymphomas based on Ki67 labeling index
This unique presentation will combine a multiparameter approach to a practical diagnosis of lymphoma by fine needle aspiration. Participants will see MD Anderson’s approach to handling lymphoid rich specimens during on-site evaluation with our radiology colleagues, including obtaining electronic cell counts, and triaging for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry as well as on cytospins for a variety of T cell and B cell lymphomas. Pitfalls in diagnosis will also be stressed.

Cytology of Serous Effusions
Ashish Chandra, FRCPath, DipRCPath
+Show/Hide Description
Educational Objectives:
1. Study the range of cytological appearances of serous effusions in inflammatory and neoplastic conditions
2. Provide an overview of immunostains in diagnostic use to ascertain the primary site of metastatic malignancy in conjunction with appropriate clinical information
This session will utilize a selection of cases (Cytospin and cell block preparations) accompanied by relevant clinical information and appropriate immunostains to suggest the probable diagnosis. The cytological interpretation and clinical correlation will be discussed interactively with the delegates.
