Abstract

With the advancement of tissue procurement techniques, in-depth knowledge of morphology is crucial for cytopathologists to diagnose neoplastic and nonneoplastic lung diseases optimally. Cytopathologists must also be well versed in immunohistochemistry/immunocytochemistry markers and their interpretation for an accurate diagnosis.
