Cytology gastrointestinal tract

What can cytology detect?
Cytology is the exam of a single cell type, as often found in fluid specimens.
It's mainly used to diagnose or screen for cancer.
It's also used to screen for fetal abnormalities, for pap smears, to diagnose infectious organisms, and in other screening and diagnostic areas..

Cytopathology is a branch of pathology involving the study and diagnosis of diseases at the cellular level using a light microscope.
Traditionally the discipline has been divided into cervical cytopathology (commonly referred to as cervical cytology) and diagnostic cytopathology.

Cytology of the GIT is performed to detect neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions and often includes concurrent procurement of needle core biopsies. Sites amenable to cytological sampling include the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreatobiliary, and liver from the upper GIT and the rectum and anus from the lower GIT.

How can cytology be used to diagnose neoplastic and non-Neo Plastic conditions?

Abstract Cytology of gastro-intestinal (GI) tract lesions can be used successfully to diagnose neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, especially when combined with biopsies.
Cytologic evaluation is widely accepted as a cost-effective method that allows rapid interpretation and triaging of material.

What is a gastrointestinal sample used for in endoscopy?

Gastrointestinal Tract:

Sampling the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract is becoming a routine procedure during endoscopy

Brushing samples are used to detect viral and fungal infections, and neoplasia with its precursor lesions.

What is gastrointestinal cytopathology?

Gastrointestinal cytopathology, also known as GI cytology, is a relatively small part of cytopathology.
This article deals only with gastrointestinal cytopathology.
An introduction to cytopathology is in the cytopathology article.
Histopathology of the gastrointestinal tract is dealt with in gastrointestinal pathology .

What is GI cytology?

The popularity of gastrointestinal (GI) cytology for the diagnosis of infection and malignancy has waxed and waned during the past few decades.

What Kinds of Cytology Are there?

There are two main kinds, or branches, of cytology: exfoliative cytology and intervention cytology.
Healthcare providers can use cytology tests for almost all areas of your body.
Some common types of cytology tests include:.
1) Gynecologic cytology..
2) Urinary cytology..
3) Breast cytology.
4) Thyroid cytology..
5) Lymph node cytology..
6) Respiratory .

Gastrointestinal intraepithelial neoplasia is also known as gastrointestinal dysplasia.
Gastrointestinal dysplasia refers to abnormal growth of the epithelial tissue lining the gastrointestinal tract including the esophagus, stomach, and colon.
Pancreatic, biliary, and rectal Intraepithelial Neoplasia are discussed separately.
The regions of abnormal growth are confined by the basement membrane adjacent to the epithelial tissue and are thought to represent pre-cancerous lesions.

Medical condition

Indolent T cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the gastrointestinal tract or Indolent T cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the GI tract (ITCLD-GT) is a rare and recently recognized disorder in which mature T cell lymphocytes accumulation abnormally in the gastrointestinal tract.
This accumulation causes various lesions in the mucosal layer lining the GI tract.
Individuals with ITCLD-GT commonly complain of chronic GI tract symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding.
