This test is a pathologist's examination of a wright-stained slide
prepared on a cytospin. The specific reason for the examination must
be noted on the requisition. A written interpretation by a pathologist
is reported by computer. Specimens suspicious for malignancy should be
confirmed with PAP stained millipore cytology or tissue biopsy. These
slides are held in a permanent file for future reference.
