[Cytologic differential diagnosis of various peripheral lung cancers].
The data on 25 cases of histologically verified bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and papillary adenocarcinoma are discussed. Reliable differential diagnostic cytological features of both diseases were established using a statistical, program and fine-needle biopsy findings. Statistical analysis data pointed to the sets of cytological features: "serial pattern--clear cell boundaries" and "serial pattern--presence of macrovacuoles" as a major factor of accuracy of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma and papillary adenocarcinoma diagnosis. These cytological features may be used for reliable diagnosis of the diseases.
