title: ["False-positive" cytologic diagnoses].
abstract: In a series of 30,000 cytologic examinations carried out in patients with lung pathology, 20 results were considered false-positive for cancer. However, in 5 of them, malignancy was subsequently confirmed. These data were analysed to identify patterns of lung cancer in which cytologic samples are likely to be misinterpreted as false-positive.
