Dr. Manjula K. Md, Dr. Csbr Prasad

Abstract :

The wide morphological spectrum of reactive mesothelial cells is responsible for many ‘look– alikes’ in effusions cytology. Although the morphological features of various neoplasms are different in effusions from those in other types of specimens, metastatic cancers observed in usual practice may show typical cytological appearance that are recognizable with experience. A 60–year– old women presented with pelvic mass and ascites. Fluid was hemorrhagic, composed of bimodal population of cells – reactive mesothelial cells and malignant cells. Also seen were cells with tufts of surface hair like projections, arranged in groups and in singles. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingoopharectomy. Histopathological examination showed high grade serous carcinoma of ovary
