...Anna S. Nam; Tamara Giorgadze; Wayne Tam; Amy Chadburn Objectives: We sought to assess the utility and limitations of both flow cytometry (FC) and cytology for the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in a practical clinical setting. Methods: A total of 393 consecutive CSF samples from 171...

...Juan Xing; Lisa Radkay; Sara E. Monaco; Christine G. Roth; Liron Pantanowitz Lyme disease can affect the central nervous system causing a B-cell-predominant lymphocytic pleocytosis. Since most reactions to infection in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are typically T-cell predominant, a B-cell...

...Irem Onur; Genevieve M. Crane; Zahra Maleki Objective: To compare the efficacy of conventional cytomorphologic analysis and flow cytometry (FC) in the diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

...Asuman Argon; Mehmet Ali Uyaroğlu; Deniz Nart; Ali Veral; Gül Kitapçıoğlu Objectives: Since malignant cells were first detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), numerous methods have been used for CSF examination. The cytocentrifugation and liquid-based cytology (LBC) methods are two of these. We...

... neoplasm. BPDCN is now believed to arise from plasmacytoid dendritic cells, but its exact etiology is still unknown. We report here on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology of a BPDCN, a hypercellular specimen comprised of malignant, singly dispersed cells with scant to moderate amounts of pale blue...

...Shuyue Ren; Yajue Huang; Pallav Shah; Varsha Manucha Background: Squamous cell carcinoma metastatic to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a rare diagnosis on cytology, and thereby more challenging in comparison to an adenocarcinoma metastatic to CSF. We recently encountered a case of metastatic squamous...
