 Cytopathology Department
The field of Diagnostic Cytopathology involves the interpretation of cells that are spontaneously exfoliated (i.e., urine, body cavity fluids, sputum, etc.), removed from tissues by abrasion (i.e., Pap smear, brushings, washings), or sampled by fine needle aspiration (FNA).
FNA is a minimally invasive, cost-effective, and highly accurate diagnostic procedure performed by the pathologist to evaluate palpable masses, or by the radiologist or endoscopist to evaluate deep-seated masses using various imaging techniques.
In addition, the Cytopathology Service at HCMC supports the only cytopathology fellowship program in the state of Minnesota and a cytotechnology internship from the University of North Dakota School of Cytotechnology.

Specimens are concentrated, stained, cover slipped, slides for special studies and cellblocks prepared and the specimens sent to the cytotechnologists for preliminary screening.
In contrast to most hospitals and because of the high prevalence of pre-neoplastic lesions, most of our gynecological cytopathology specimens are required to be evaluated by a cytopathologist.
Because of the diversity and primary diagnostic nature of many of the aspiration specimens, heavy emphasis is placed on the use of ancillary studies for both diagnosis and prognosis (i.e., lymphoma surface markers, ER/PR, proliferation index by Ki67 and DNA ploidy).

In addition, even before their formal rotation through cytology, residents are encouraged to examine cellular material obtained from specimens on the autopsy and surgical pathology service using imprint, scrape and needle aspiration techniques and to correlate surgical and autopsy findings with prior cytologic specimens obtained on their patients.
