title: [Cytomorphologic criteria of small cell bronchial cancer and its value in the determination of malignancy and histogenesis].
abstract: On the basis of 100 cases in which the diagnosis "small cell lung cancer" was confirmed both histologically and cytologically, the cytological criteria that indicated the presence of a small cell bronchial carcinoma were investigated. It was established that on the basis of cytological criteria, not only is differential diagnosis possible, but also, in contrast to the opinions of other authors (4), a clear differentiation of the subtypes. Furthermore, in a prospective study involving 455 biopsies obtained from the bronchus which were investigated histologically and cytologically at the same time, these criteria were checked. It was established that a 100% agreement with histology was achieved in the determination of the types of small cell bronchial carcinoma. In small cell carcinoma of the lung, a diagnostic gain of 7.7% is achieved.
