Introduction: Lung cancer remains a major health challenge, and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) has emerged as a valuable tool in lung cancer diagnosis. This study aims to assess the performance of ROSE in the intraoperative diagnosis of lung cancer and its correlation with the histological findings of frozen sections.

- The presence of malignant squamous cells in pancreatic cytopathology is a rare occurrence linked to either primary pancreatic or metastatic cancers, notably pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC), which has a poor prognosis.
- During a study from 2013 to 2018 at "Hygeia and Mitera Hospital," fine needle aspirations (FNAs) from six patients revealed malignant squamous cells in pancreatic lesions and liver metastases, with no history of primary squamous malignancy in these patients.
- The findings demonstrated features like necrosis and keratinization, and suggested that identifying malignant squamous cells in pancreatic FNAs could indicate PASC, with immunochemistry aiding in confirming squamous differentiation when keratinization is not evident.
