Abstract

Background: Fungal infection incidental detection is a common encounter in cytopathology practices. Detection of the fungal organisms and awareness of the morphological features are challenges for the cytopathologist.

Case presentation: We report a case of incidental detection of a fungal organism in a 67-year-old male patient with complaints of bilateral elbow joint swellings. Cytology was done and showed a fungal organism (Cladosporium sps.).

Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) along with Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is a rapid, minimally invasive technique used for the diagnosis and detection of various fungi / parasites leading to early and definitive treatment.

在细胞学中偶然发现克拉多孢子菌。

背景：在细胞病理学实践中，偶然发现真菌感染是一种常见现象。真菌的检测和形态特征的认识是细胞病理学家面临的挑战：我们报告了一例偶然发现真菌的病例，患者是一名 67 岁的男性，主诉双侧肘关节肿胀。细胞学检查结果显示为真菌（Cladosporium sps.）：结论：细针穿刺细胞学检查（FNAC）与快速现场评估（ROSE）是一种快速、微创的技术，可用于诊断和检测各种真菌/寄生虫，从而及早进行明确治疗。

期刊介绍： Diagnostic Pathology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers research in surgical and clinical pathology, immunology, and biology, with a special focus on cutting-edge approaches in diagnostic pathology and tissue-based therapy. The journal covers all aspects of surgical pathology, including classic diagnostic pathology, prognosis-related diagnosis (tumor stages, prognosis markers, such as MIB-percentage, hormone receptors, etc.), and therapy-related findings. The journal also focuses on the technological aspects of pathology, including molecular biology techniques, morphometry aspects (stereology, DNA analysis, syntactic structure analysis), communication aspects (telecommunication, virtual microscopy, virtual pathology institutions, etc.), and electronic education and quality assurance (for example interactive publication, on-line references with automated updating, etc.).
