Abstract
Intraoperative cytopathology is faster, less labor intensive, yields clearer cellular details and can be as accurate as frozen section in the hands of pathologists experienced in the interpretation of cytological preparations. This procedure is particularly valuable for examining small specimens, multiple samples that need to be examined rapidly, and when superior cytological details are required. Nonetheless its use seems to be relatively limited. In this article, we review the general requirements for intraoperative cytology and also detail its value, as well as its limitations and pitfalls.
