Resumen

Se expone en este trabajo la posibilidad cierta de efectuar diagnóstico preciso de la patología pulmonar por medio del estudio citológico, remarcando el derecho del clínico a contar con estos diagnósticos y no a valoraciones basadas en grados de Papanicolau, despreciando el resto de la patología. Se efectúa una descripción global, representativa pero no exahustiva, de los cuadros morfológicos que se encuentran en citología acompañándolos de su iconografía y basados en una experiencia de más de 27.000 frotis.

Se concluye remarcando la necesidad de una estrecha vinculación entre clínico y citólogo, así como la de contar con personal realmente entrenado si se quieren obtener resultados aceptables.

Summary

Detailed cytological study of pulmonary pathology which allowe a precise diagnosis to be established, is a diagnostic procedure that should be available to all clinicians; instead of the one based only on Papanicolaou classification which dismisses the remaining pathology. An overview of the morphology together with the images found in cytology and based on more than 27.000 smears, is included. In conclusión cióse cooperadon between cytologist and clinician and properly trained personnel are essential if good results are to be obtained.
