Background. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is commonly used to evaluate the adequacy of biopsy materials in fine-needle aspiration; however, the diagnostic performance of ROSE during fiber optic bronchoscopy (FOB) biopsy under direct vision is rarely reported. Here, we evaluated the role of ROSE during FOB biopsy of visible lesion in trachea or bronchi. Methods. The role of ROSE was prospectively evaluated in consecutive bronchoscopy specimens obtained between January 2016 and January 2018. The agreement and accuracy between ROSE and final histopathological interpretation were assessed. The frequency and possible reasons for discrepancy between ROSE and definitive histopathology results were identified. Histological and cytological classification was performed according to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, the American Thoracic Society, and the European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) criteria of lung ADCs classification. Results. The study enrolled 651 patients, of which 33 were excluded because of insufficient cells. Final diagnosis of malignancy was achieved in 462 cases (74.8%), whereas 156 cases (25.2%) were nonmalignant. ROSE and pathology were well correlated for the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (Kappa = 0.718, p<0.05), adenocarcinoma (AdC) (Kappa = 0.662; p<0.05) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Kappa = 0.955; p<0.05). In 24 cases diagnosed as malignant by ROSE and nonmalignant by pathology, the lesion tissues were surgically excised and re-analyzed, and the 24 cases were finally confirmed as malignant by pathology. Conclusions. ROSE technique allows bronchoscopists to obtain viable and adequate material for the diagnosis of histopathology, and provides them with an onsite preliminary diagnosis especially in cases with inconclusive macroscopic appearance. ROSE and pathology should be used in combination to increase the accuracy of diagnosis.

Abstract Objectives In patients with lung cancer undergoing mediastinal staging through endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), decisions are based on rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) findings. We aimed to analyze the concordance rate between ROSE diagnosis and final diagnosis. Methods A prospective study was carried out in patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA for lung cancer staging. Diagnosis concordance was defined as cases where lymph nodes (LNs) presented the same diagnosis in ROSE and final diagnosis. Determinants of concordance were analyzed. Results Sixty-four patients were included and 637 LNs sampled. ROSE diagnosis was concordant with final diagnosis in 612 (96.1%) LNs and nonconcordant in 25 (3.9%). Differences in the concordance rate were found between pathologists, ROSE diagnoses, presence of cell block, number of passes, and number of slides. The staging status was changed between ROSE and the final diagnosis in three (4.6%) patients. Conclusions ROSE diagnosis has a high concordance with the final diagnosis.

Background: A palpable lump in a woman’s breast could be benign or malignant and it requires prompt evaluation to confirm or exclude cancer. This study aims to establish the correlation between clinical and radiological parameters for provisional diagnosis of breast lumps and the role of histopathology for final diagnosis of these breast lumps.Methods: Total 275 female patients with palpable breast lumps were included in the study, where a detailed history was recorded and clinical examination was done. All patients underwent ultrasonography of the breast along with fine needle aspiration cytology or histopathology, wherever indicated.Results: Benign breast lumps were found more commonly in 18-30 years of age group whereas malignant breast lumps were seen more commonly in the 41-60 years age group and the incidence increased with age. Fixity to skin was present in 5.1% and fixity to chest wall was present in 5.8% respectively, and all of these cases turned out to be malignant.Conclusions: Attributing factors for suspicion of malignant lumps are advanced age, fixity to surrounding structures, presence of ulceration and peau’d orange breast skin appearance. Although for confirmation of malignancy from a suspected breast lump requires either cytology or histopathology of the excised specimen.

Objective. Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is an effective and efficient auxiliary examination, but its value for CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of pulmonary occupying lesions is unclear. This study is aimed at evaluating the clinical utility of ROSE for CT-guided percutaneous FNA. Methods. We reviewed 234 patients from September 2018 to April 2019. The result using ROSE was compared with the final pathological diagnosis of CT-guided percutaneous FNA, and we also compared the complications between the ROSE group and the NO-ROSE group. The final pathological diagnosis results served as the gold standard. We also analyzed the diagnostic rate of FNA and the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of malignancy. The correlation between diverse pathological types of lung cancer was also taken into consideration. Results. In total, 132 patients underwent CT-guided percutaneous FNA with ROSE (ROSE group), and 102 did not (NO-ROSE group). The diagnostic rate, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the ROSE group were 91.6%, 89.1%, 94.1%, 93.4%, and 90.1%, respectively. The complication rates of the ROSE group and the NO-ROSE group were 8.33% and 16.67%, respectively. This difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05 ). In subsets of adenocarcinoma (AC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients, the ROSE result was highly consistent with the final pathological result. Conclusion. CT-guided percutaneous FNA combined with ROSE has a high diagnostic rate, sensitivity, and specificity for pulmonary occupying lesions and an acceptable rate of complications. This method is worthy of wide use given its high efficiency and safety.
