Cytopathology Services
Specialized Cytologic Evaluation for Accurate and Timely Diagnosis
Mid-Florida Pathology provides comprehensive cytopathology services focused on the microscopic evaluation of cellular specimens for the detection and characterization of malignant, premalignant, infectious, and selected non-neoplastic conditions.
Our cytopathology services include:
Colonic Brushing Cytology
Cytopathologic evaluation of colonic brushing specimens to assist in the detection and characterization of primary or metastatic neoplasms. Evaluation may also contribute to the diagnosis of selected infectious processes, including amebiasis, giardiasis, and strongyloidiasis, when cytologic features are present.
Esophageal Brushing Cytology
Cytopathologic evaluation of esophageal brushing specimens to assist in the detection and characterization of primary or metastatic neoplasms. Cytologic examination may also aid in identifying selected infectious processes, including herpesvirus and Candida, as well as cytologic changes associated with certain non-neoplastic conditions, including Barrett esophagus.
Urine Cytology
Cytopathologic evaluation of urine specimens for the detection and characterization of malignant cells, particularly those arising from the urinary tract. Urine cytology may also demonstrate cellular changes associated with selected non-neoplastic conditions.
Non-Gynecologic Cytology
Cytopathologic evaluation of non-gynecologic specimens for the detection and characterization of malignant cells and selected non-neoplastic processes. Our pathologists provide careful microscopic assessment designed to deliver clear, clinically meaningful diagnostic information.
ThinPrep® Pap Test
Cytologic screening for the detection of precancerous cervical lesions, cervical cancer, atypical cellular changes, and other cytologic abnormalities classified according to the Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology.
The Pap test is primarily a cervical cancer screening test and is not considered a reliable screening method for the detection of endometrial cancer.
