ABSTRACT

Introduction: Carcinoma of lung is one of the most important malignancy that cause of high mortality rate in the developed states. The recognition rate of initial phase lung malignancy is essential for improving the diagnosis. The aim of study is to evaluate the percentage of concordance between cytological and histological diagnosis of lung disease. Method: across sectional study of 40 patients with different lung diseases, that were collected from archive of specialist surgical hospital in Baghdad medical city, specialist surgical hospital, Baghdad, Iraq. in period from 2019-2022, where the variables taken, histopathological reports, cytopathological reports, age, gender, type of sample. Results: 40 cases mean age (54.35 ± 17), 13 (32.5%) of patients are females and 27 (67.5%) are males. 19 (47.5%) are at age > 60 years old. 17 (42.5%) of patients the tumor location at right lung while 16 (40%) of them at left lung. 27 (67.5%) of patients with positive histology while 16 (40%) of them are positive cytology. 23 (57.5%) of patients with bronchial wash as type of aspiration. the distribution of histology in details.8 (20%) of patients with adenocarcinoma, 5 (12.5%) of the are small cell while 13 (32.5%) are negative histology. the distribution of histology in details. 6 (%) of patients with non-significant type, 3 (7.5%) of the are small cell while 24 (60 %) are negative cytology. 5 (31%) of patients with positive cytology is adenocarcinoma, 4 (25%) of patients with positive cytology is non-small cell, 3 (18.8%) of patients with positive cytology is small cell. Conclusion: Current study concludes that the most of patients with lung disease are old age males, the most site of lung tumor are right site. The most histological type is adenocarcinoma and the most cytological types that associate with positive histology are non-small cell, small cell carcinoma.
