2 Tumor or Non-tumor

3 Tumor cells? Inflammatory cells? Infectious agents? Fluid? 3

4 Cytology >>> Fastest! Some tumors are diagnosed by cytology better than biopsy, eg.; round cell tumor. Is that final conclusion? 4

5 Tumor cell interpretation Step-by-Step 5

6 At First Glance on Slide 1. Significant tumor cells: presence or absence (fluid, blood) >> DIY: Prepare 2-3 slides 2. Size and shape of tumor cell >> Easy way to compare tumor size 3. Cellular arrangement >> clump, sheet, glandular, individual 4. Nuclei and cytoplasm of tumor cell >> criteria of malignancy >> intracytoplasmic granules (black, metachromatic) 5. Extracellular matrix (keratin, mucin, osteoid), Foreign bodies, Pathogen 6

7 Interpretation: First Step Approach Which cell type?? Inflammatory cells Differentiate cell type Inflammatory cells + Tissue cells - Differentiate cell type - History taking Tissue cells Differentiate cell type and origin Neutrophils>85% = suppurative (pus) Neutrophils, Macrophages, pus cells = pyogranulomatous Macropahges, Lymphocytes, fibroblasts, plasma cells, low neutrophils = granulomatous Many Eosinophils >10% = eosinophilic plaques (granuloma) or allergic reaction Epithelium Mesenchymal Round cell Mixed, pleomorphic >> difficult for diagnosis Most malignant tumor 7

8 3 basic tumor cell types Epithelial Size Shape Cellularity Cluster Large Round to Usually high Yes caudate Mesenchymal Small to Spindle to Usually low No medium stellate Discrete round cell Mast cell Lymphoma Small to Round Usually high No medium TVT Histocytoma 8

9 General criteria Criteria of Malignancy Pleomorphism Multinucleation Anisocytosis Normal Abnormal Abnormal mitosis Macrocytosis Coarse chromatin Increase cell no. Hypercellularity Nuclear molding Nuclear criteria Anisokaryosis RBC Anisonucleosis Macrokaryosis & Increased N:C ratio Angular nucleoli 9

10 Cell Arrangement Cellular Arrangement VG Single,solitary Basal cell Chain, row Hepatoid cell Sheet Mesothelial cell Cluster Fibrosarcoma MG adenocarcinoma Glandular Clump Mal. histiocytosis 10

11 Anisocytosis Cellular morphology VG Pleomorphism 11

12 Cytoplasm Cell Arrangement VG Abundant pale, Multiple vacuoles Basal cell Scant cytoplasm, basophilic Hepatoid cell Abundant pale blue cyto. Mesothelial cell Abundant pale cyto., eccentric vacuole Fibrosarcoma MG adenocarcinoma Mal. histiocytosis 12 Abundant basophilic cytoplasm Low to moderate pale blue cytoplasm Abundant pale blue cyto. with multiple vacuoles

13 Nuclear pattern Cell Arrangement VG Heterochromatin, non-prominent nucleoli Basal cell Homogeneous, non-obvious nucleoli Hepatoid cell Vesicular-prominent large nucleoli Mesothelial cell Heterochromatin Prominent large nucleoli Fibrosarcoma MG adenocarcinoma Mal. histiocytosis Homogeneous, prominent large nucleoli Heterochromatin, non-obvious small nucleoli 13

14 Abnormal mitosis Abnormal Nuclei Multinucleation 14

15 Intracytoplasmic Granules Extracellular Matrix 15

16 Epithelial Cell Tumor Cluster/single + scant cytoplasm Basal cell tumor group Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm vacuoles vacuoles glands Cluster/sheet/row Squamous cell tumor group Glandular cell tumor group Sebaceous cell tumor group Epidermal inclusion cyst Squamous papilloma Squamous cell carcinoma Carcinoma Adenoma Adenocarcinoma Site of mass Sebaceous adenoma Sebaceous epithelioma 16

17 Epithelial Cell Tumor Cluster/single + scant cytoplasm Basal cell tumor group = Epidermal basal cells (eg ; basal cell tumor, trichoblastoma, basal cell carcinoma) = Benign hair follicular cells (eg; trichoepithelioma, pilomatricoma) Trichoblastoma 17

18 Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm Epithelial Cell Tumor vacuoles Squamous cell tumor group Epidermal inclusion cyst Squamous papilloma Squamous cell carcinoma Carcinoma Epidermal inclusion cyst 18

19 Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm Epithelial Cell Tumor vacuoles Squamous cell tumor group Epidermal inclusion cyst Squamous papilloma Squamous cell carcinoma Carcinoma SCC 19

20 Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm Epithelial Cell Tumor vacuoles Cluster/sheet/row Sebaceous cell tumor group Sebaceous adenoma Sebaceous epithelioma 20

21 Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm vacuoles glands Glandular cell tumor group Epithelial Cell Tumor Adenoma Adenocarcinoma Site of mass: mammary gland 21

22 Cluster/single+ abundant cytoplasm vacuoles glands Glandular cell tumor group Epithelial Cell Tumor Adenoma Adenocarcinoma Site of mass: Perianal gland 22

23 Conclusion: Epithelial Cell Tumor Sheet/ Solitary /Cluster Tumor involving superficial squamous epithelial cells = Benign - squamous epithelium (eg; papilloma) = Squamous cell carcinoma = Basal cells group = Epidermal basal cells (eg ; basal cell tumor, trichoblastoma, basal cell carcinoma) = benign hair follicular cells (eg; trichoepithelioma, pilomatricoma) Sebaceous cell group: -adenoma,-epithelioma,-carcinoma Glandular Pattern Perianal gland adenoma/adenocarcinoma Apocrine gland adenoma/adenocarcinoma Tumor of the subcutaneous glandular tissues (salivary, mammary, thyroid etc) Tumor of internal organs; pancreas, adrenal gl., lung etc. Un-differentiated carcinoma 23
