Overall evaluation
In addition to a general evaluation, also evaluate the following in cytology samples, or any sample with scattered cells rather than coherent tissue:
- Consider looking for any additional concurrent samples from the same patient, especially excisions, as usually correlate.
- Adequacy of specimen. Cells may be too few or too obscured by other material to make a proper diagnosis.
- Background, mainly if it is clear or dirty
- Overall cellularity
- Artifacts
