Hondrosarcoma of the chest with intraabdominal distribution (case report).

A rare clinical observation of chondrosarcoma metastasis into the abdominal cavity with a specific metastatic ascitic fluid is presented. Chondrosarcomas that occur as a result of malignant transformation of benign chondroma are quite rare. Even less often in the literature, cases of chondrosarcoma metastases are described, especially in a peritoneum with the presence of metastatic ascites. The article describes a case of metastatic ascites in a 38-year old patient with chondrosarcoma, which developed against the background of previously resected rib chords. The article describes the cytological signs of chondrosarcoma in ascitic fluid.

Cellular composition research of serous pleural effusion fluids. Conceptual issues of preanalytics.

The purpose of this work was to show the effectiveness of the cytological method on a small number of observations, excluding all possible errors of the preanalytical stage. The paper presents several simple and easily reproducible algorithms for the cytological study of serous pleural effusions with small cellular content. On the example of 20 observations of the study of the cellular composition of serous exudates, a direct dependence of the research results on the preanalytical stage is shown. A complete study of effusion fluids in compliance with all stages of preanalytics and the use of modern methods of cytological diagnostics makes it possible to nullify the options for false-negative.
