Résume

L’utilisation des techniques de cytologie en milieu liquide (CML) dans les ponctions pancréatiques à l’aiguille, est certainement un progrès, réduisant le taux d’examens inadéquats. La CML est surtout utile pour l’immuno-histologie et la biologie moléculaire. Cependant, il existe des artéfacts cytologiques qui sont importants à connaître afin d’éviter des diagnostics erronés. Un des problèmes majeurs est le surcoût engendré par cette technique. Pour la première fois, nous décrivons une nouvelle méthode, bon marché, de CML sur les ponctions pancréatiques à l’aiguille fine (Megafunnel®-Thermo-Shandon®).

Summary

Liquid-based cytology (LBC) for pancreatic fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is certainly an improvement and plays a role in the adequacy of the specimen. LBC is useful for immuno-histochemistry and molecular biology. However, there are some cytologic artifacts that should be recognised to avoid erroneous diagnosis. An important problem with LBC lies with its added cost. For the first time, we describe a new inexpensive LBC for pancreatic FNAC (Megafunnel®,-Thermo-Shandon®) [1, 2].
