      Abstract

      It is important to adequately process and triage the specimen obtained from fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of pancreatic lesions. Many echo endoscopists rely on rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for adequacy of FNA from solid pancreatic lesions. The role of ROSE in FNA of pancreatic lesions is discussed, as is the triage of material for making smears and cell block preparation. Different techniques of cell block preparation are briefly mentioned. Pancreatic cystic fluid obtained from pancreatic cysts is triaged differently as compared to specimens obtained from solid pancreatic lesions. An algorithmic approach to the processing of pancreatic cystic fluid for molecular and biochemical assays and cytology is discussed. Proper specimen handling is crucial to the accurate interpretation of pancreatic FNA specimens. The methods used to process a sample depend on whether the aspirated sample is solid or cystic and the type of device used for sampling. ROSE has been shown to reduce the number of inadequate specimens and to improve specimen preparation. The details of the various cytological preparation methods available are described in numerous texts. Here we focus on providing a broad overview of specimen collection and processing as it relates to pancreatic FNA, with guidance to the reader based on published and personal experiences.

      Pancreatic lesions undergoing fine-needle aspiration (FNA) can either be solid or cystic, and this determines the specimen handling. Material aspirated from solid lesions is smeared onto the slides and any extra material aspirated goes for cell block preparation. In contrast, fluid aspirated from cystic lesions is spun down onto the slides and sent for biochemical analysis and molecular testing, details of which are discussed below.

      Processing of Cytology Samples from Pancreatic Solid Masses

      FNA samples from a solid mass can be prepared by using direct smears, or the sample may be collected directly into a preservative, such as a CytoLyt®, for ThinPrep® processing, or into the SurePath preservative.

      Smears

Adequate smear preparation is critical to accurate interpretation. Techniques for adequate smear preparation have been well described in the cytology literature [1]. A good-quality smear shows the cellular material evenly and thinly spread out on the slide (Fig. 1). Factors causing difficulty in smear interpretation include a bloody smear, a thick smear, and crush artifact (Fig. 2). It is recommended that large clots or tissue fragments be lifted from the smear and submitted for cell block analysis. Thick tissue fragments or clots will not be well visualized on smears.

      Rapid On-Site Evaluation

For FNA of solid pancreatic lesions, rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) has become an integral part of the procedure in many hospitals. Some studies recommend that a cytopathologist/cytotechnologist be present during the procedure for ROSE [2]. There have been several studies suggesting that there is an increase in diagnostic yield and a decreased need for repeat endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS)-FNA with ROSE [3–8]. ROSE is said to reduce the probability of false negative and unsatisfactory aspirations. ROSE with EUS-FNA has been reported to provide more accurate diagnoses than EUS-FNA alone [9–11]. ROSE is useful for three different reasons: (i) it helps in the assessment of the adequacy of aspirates to ensure that the lesion is appropriately sampled, (ii) it helps triage the specimen acquired appropriately, based on the initial impression after examining the slides, for additional studies such as flow cytometry, microbiology, or cell block for immunohistochemical stains, and (iii) it provides a provisional diagnosis to the echoendoscopists [11]. Based on this information, a decision is made as to whether additional passes are required or the material collected is sufficient for diagnosis. However, in recent years there have been many studies which have questioned the added benefit of ROSE. Few studies have concluded that the diagnostic yield in unassisted EUS-FNA is not inferior to ROSE-assisted EUS-FNA СКАЧАТЬ
