Abstract

Background Body cavity fluids are among the most frequently examined samples in cytology. Cytomorphology is supplemented by additive testing. An international system of terminology and classification has been recently presented. Objectives Cytopreparation and staining techniques as well as some exemplary morphological patterns are presented. The International System for Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) is briefly presented. Materials and methods Pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, and ascites: special technical issues, immunocytochemistry, molecular diagnostics, and reporting system issues are discussed. Results Body cavity fluids are important samples that provide significant information. Additive testing is established for routine use. The form and structure of reports is widely divergent in practical use. Discussion A reporting system for serous fluid cytopathology that is easily applied and recognized internationally is highly desirable. TIS is a valuable approach to this goal.
