title: [Immunohistochemistry in cytologic diagnosis using fine needle aspiration].
abstract: The role of immunocytochemistry in fine-needle aspiration cytology. The Authors review the literature about fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology in different organs and show the feasibility of the application to cytological specimen of immunocytochemical methods. Thus, they analyze 15 cases of tumors of various localization diagnosed by F.N.A.C. where immunocytochemistry succeeded in their correct typization. They also show the encouraging results of the immunocytochemical search of specific hormones in pituitary adenomas. Therefore the Authors emphasize the great usefulness of immunocytochemical techniques for the improvement of the diagnostic possibilities in the fine-needle aspiration cytology.
