Abrasive cytohistology of squamous epithelial lesions
Objective: To describe a method to retrieve cellular and tissue elements of oral squamous epithelium obtained by abrasive methods and to conduct investigations by cytohistology. Method: We developed a special gelatine pocket suitable for paraffin embedding of sparse material obtained from brush biopsies (BBs). This was subjected to combined evaluation of a cytological (smear) and histological examination of the ‘tissue sections’ – referred as cytohistology. Four diagnostic categories were applied for evaluation. Other special diagnostic methods were also applied in addition to recording dysplasia. Results: A total of 51, 755 BBs from suspicious lesions of the oral mucosa (mostly oral potentially malignant disorders – OPMD) were evaluated for the presence of carcinoma or dysplasia; in all, 1.7% were positive, 78.2% were negative for any epithelial atypia, 16.8% atypical and 3.3% inadequate. All BBs also had cytohistological evaluation. A ‘positive’ diagnosis by cytohistology was a reliable indicator of dysplasia or carcinoma, requiring further incisional/excisional biopsy. In the ‘atypical’ category, a variety of lesions were found, about half being dysplasia or carcinoma. This category challenges the clinician for further clinical, therapeutic and/or excisional examination. In ‘negative’ cases with persistence of the lesion, a re-examination in 1-year sequence is recommended. Conclusion: Cytohistology of material derived by abrasive methods allows earlier detection of dysplasia/carcinoma. A number of additional oncological and non-oncological findings make this method a valuable non-invasive diagnostic procedure for oral mucosal lesions.
