[The cytodiagnosis of eyelid and conjunctival tumors; the cytohistological correlations].
There were studied 24 patients with tumour diseases of palpebral and conjunctival type. There were taken samples of conjunctival secretion and touch samples, fixed by drying and coloured with the quick blue polychrom tannin BPT-Drăgan method. Nuclear and cytoplasmatic alterations were highly suggestive for malignity in 21 of 24 cases (88%). Cytologic results were compared to histopathologic ones. The touch samples made intra-surgical after the excision of the tumour, indicate the maintaining of the oncological safety borders in 22 of 24 cases through the absence of malignancy cells (91.7%). Our results are in the favour of the routine application of the cytological method in the early diagnosis, during the operation and surveillance follow-up of the patient with malignant conjunctival and palpebral tumour.
