Article Synopsis
- The study explores the role of serous effusion cytopathology in diagnosing various conditions and implements the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (ISRSFC) to standardize reporting.
- It categorizes serous effusion cases and estimates the risk of malignancy (ROM) while comparing diagnostic performance between conventional smear and cell block techniques.
- Out of 185 cases analyzed, the study found varying ROMs across diagnostic categories, with improved sensitivity and accuracy using a combination of both techniques.
Background and objective Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare and malignant mesenchymal tumor characterized by skeletal muscle differentiation. While it is a common soft tissue sarcoma in children, its incidence significantly decreases with advancing age, rendering it exceptionally rare in individuals aged more than 45 years. This study aimed to shed light on the clinicopathological diversity and subtypes of RMS, thereby providing a comprehensive overview for enabling diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies in treating this infrequently encountered malignancy in adults.
