Cytology refers to microscopic examination of cells to detect inflammation, infection, or malignancy. When initial cytology findings are suspicious or inconclusive, a cell block is prepared from the same specimen to allow further tissue-like analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf indicated, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is performed on the cell block to identify specific protein markers that help determine the origin and nature of abnormal cells. At healthcare nt sickcare, this test is available via a direct walk-in facility in Pune for submitted specimens. Samples are processed through NABL-accredited partner labs, and healthcare nt sickcare is ISO certified, supporting accurate diagnosis under medical supervision across Maharashtra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does This Test Cover?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis package includes stepwise cytological and reflex diagnostic evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTests Covered\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid Cytology Examination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell Block Preparation (performed if indicated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelevant Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on Cell Block (as required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Should Consider This Test?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is commonly advised for patients with unexplained fluid accumulation, suspected malignancy, recurrent effusions, or inconclusive routine cytology results.
