Permanent Treatment For Paucicellular Smears?
I got the Biopsy done and the CytoPathology Report states in it's Microscopic- observation: FNAC smears are extremely paucicellular and show scant amount of blood. (Specimen was taken- Swelling, left forearm,FNA ).Clinic History states: 2.5 cm soft mobile swelling on left flexor surface lump. Many soft painless swelling since 4-5 years all over the body at least 15 of them.( Gross- Received 4 unstailed slides).Impression : Paucicellurlar smears. Q-What is this "Paucicellurlar smears" and how to avoid them comming into being and what is the treatment for an effective permanent remedy?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The report you have mentioned is a part of the main report and the impression is excluded.
The words paucicellular mean area with decreased number of cells. Therefore the microscopic observation of paucicellular and show scan blood means that there are not many cells. It is important to know if the report gives an impression of any benign tumor containing fat components with decreased number of cells. If a complete report is not possible then it requires a biopsy from another similar tumor any where else on your body under guidance of an ultrasound. The tumor otherwise appears to be devoid of cells and therefore likely to be a benign tumor. Please do not worry.
