8290122 Cytology, Anal AN
Methodology: Microscopy
Patient Preparation: Indications: Cytologic screening for anal squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASIL).
Specimen Required: Collect: Anal sampling.
Supplies: Glass microscope slide for smears or, preferably, collected in SurePath™ or PreservCyt® collection fluid. Available online through
eSupply using ARUP Connect™ or contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787.
Also required: ARUP Cytology test request form and a black lead lab pencil.
Page | 183
Collection Procedure: To obtain an anal sampling, moisten the Dacron® swab with water, not lubricant. The Dacron® swab should be inserted
approximately 1.5 to 2 inches into the anal canal. It is important to use Dacron® and not a cotton swab, as cells tend to cling to cotton and do not
release easily into cytology collection fluids. Once inserted deep enough into the anus (necessary in order to collect both rectal columnar and anal
squamous cells) the swab should be pulled out, applying some pressure to the wall of the anus, rotating the swab in a spiral motion along the way.
The cells collected can be placed in a cytology collection fluid (preferred) or spread on a glass slide and immediately spray-fixed. The preferred
method of collection is in SurePath™ collection fluid. The collection device should be thoroughly rinsed and swirled in the vial. The vial should
be labeled with the patient's first and last name and collection date, placed in a specimen bag, and shipped to the Cytology Lab. The specimen
must be accompanied by an ARUP Cytology test request form with the requested test marked.
Storage/Transport Temperature: If collected in SurePath™, Cytolyt®, or CytoRich™:
Unacceptable Conditions: Specimens submitted in expired reagents. Refer to the Specimen Rejection section of the Specimen Transport Guide.

Specimen Required: Collect: Refer to Cytology, Body Cavity Fluid Collection for specific collection and transportation guidelines.
CPT Code(s): 88108 Concentration and interpretation and/or 88106 Cytopathology, filter; 88305 Cell block. Additional CPT codes may apply if special studies
are required.
Cytology, Body Cavity Fluid Collection
Patient Preparation: Body cavity fluids are commonly evaluated for the presence of malignant cells from metastatic disease. Body cavity fluids
in general are relatively easy to obtain and are relatively difficult to compromise. However, in some instances, due to a large number of
inflammatory cells, specimens may degenerate rapidly. In addition, if large amounts of protein are present, the specimen may clot, trapping
diagnostic cells within the clot. These fluids include pleural, peritoneal, pericardial, synovial, and pelvic washing.
Specimen Required: Collect: Body Cavity Fluids
Indications: Detection and characterization of malignant cells in body cavity fluids.
Specimen Required: 10 mL (or more) of fluid obtained from an appropriately performed paracentesis.
Supplies: Standard paracentesis equipment. Clean collection container of appropriate size. Fixative (50% ethyl alcohol).
Collection Procedure: Using standard paracentesis technique, obtain a fluid specimen from the desired body cavity. If necessary, move the
patient into multiple positions to suspend cellular material in the fluid. A minimum of 10 mL of specimen is desirable for optimal cytologic
evaluation. If other studies are required, withdraw a fraction of the specimen and submit it to the appropriate laboratory separately, following their
guidelines for specimen collection. Heparin may be added to the specimen to reduce clotting. Place 3 units of heparin per mL capacity of the
collection container. Agitate the container to coat the sides with heparin. Rinse the paracentesis instrument with a small amount of heparin to
prevent clotting of specimen before it is put into the collection container. Add specimen to the heparinized container. Gently agitate to thoroughly
mix the specimen and heparin. Label the container with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, specimen type, and collection date. Submit
the specimen to the Cytopathology Laboratory along with the completed Cytology test request form. If transport of the specimen will be delayed
more than 24 hours, add an equal volume of 50% ethyl alcohol (if sample size is too large to accommodate this volume, a well mixed aliquot of
the specimen with an equal volume of fixative may be utilized). If transport time will be less than 24 hours, or fixative is not available, the
specimen should be refrigerated or kept on wet ice until transport to the lab.
Pelvic Washing
Indications: Detection and characterization of malignant cells in pelvic washing.
Specimen Required: 10 mL (or more) of fluid obtained from an appropriately performed washing.
Supplies: Standard suction equipment. Clean collection container of appropriate size. Fixative (50% ethyl alcohol).
Collection Procedure: Using appropriate sterile technique during intra-abdominal surgery, instill a physiologic solution into the pelvic cavity.
Lavage the area of interest. Aspirate the solution and place in a clean container. Label the container with the patient's first and last name, date of
birth, specimen type and collection date. Submit the specimen and completed Cytology test request form to the Cytopathology Laboratory. If
transport of the specimen will be delayed more than 24 hours, add an equal volume of 50% ethyl alcohol. If transport time will be less than 24
hours, or fixative is not available, the specimen should be refrigerated or kept on wet ice until transport to the lab.
8209700 Cytology, Breast Nipple Secretion BN
Methodology: Microscopy
Patient Preparation: Indications: Detection of malignant cells in nipple discharge specimens.
Specimen Required: Collect: Direct smear of nipple discharge.
Supplies: Two clean glass slides (single-end frosted), fixative (spray fixative or 95% ethanol), test request form.
Collection Procedure: Label the two slides with the patient's first and last name, date of birth and specimen site in pencil on the frosted end.
Collect a small amount of nipple secretion directly onto one of the slides. Oppose a second glass slide onto the first, allowing the collected
material to provide surface tension between the two slides, and then gently and quickly pull the two slides apart in a horizontal motion to distribute
the material in a thin film over both slides. The smears should be immediately fixed either by spray fixative or in 95% ethyl alcohol to prevent air-
drying. Submit the specimen and the completed test request form to the Cytopathology Laboratory.
Unacceptable Conditions: Refer to the Specimen Rejection section in the Specimen Transport Guide.
Stability: Fixed slides: Indefinitely

8209703 Cytology, Cerebrospinal Fluid CS
Methodology: Microscopy
Patient Preparation: Indications: Detection and characterization of malignant cells in the central nervous system. In cytology, cerebrospinal
fluid is most commonly evaluated to detect and characterize malignancy which may have gained access to the central nervous system. While in
most individuals, CSF specimens are relatively easy to obtain, in some individuals collection may require radiographic guidance. In addition, due
to lack of nutrients in this fluid, cells may rapidly degenerate rendering morphologic evaluation less than optimal if adequate care is not taken.
Specimen Required: Collect: Minimum of 3 mL cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). (10 mL CSF minimum required for immunologic marker studies)
Supplies: Standard cerebrospinal fluid collection equipment. Clean, clear 10 mL collection container for CSF. Fixative (50% ethyl alcohol).
Collection Procedure: Using standard CSF procedure, collect 3 mL of CSF. In general, morphology of cells within the CSF can be adequately
maintained with prompt refrigeration for 24 hours. Although a fresh specimen is preferred, if a longer time period between collection and
processing is anticipated, the specimen may be preserved by adding an equal volume of 50% ethyl alcohol to the specimen. Label the container
with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, specimen type and collection date. Submit the specimen to the Cytopathology Laboratory
along with the completed Cytology test request form.
Note: Specimens submitted for immunocytochemical testing must be submitted fresh.
Unacceptable Conditions: Refer to the Specimen Rejection section in the Specimen Transport Guide.
Stability: Refrigerated: 72 hours
CPT Code(s): 88108 Concentration and interpretation or 88112 Selective cellular enhancement with interpretation and/or 88106 Cytopathology, filter.

Specimen Required: Collect: Direct smear of material collected from the conjunctival surface.
Supplies: Two clean glass slides, fixative (95% ethyl alcohol), conjunctival scraping spatula, test request form.
Collection Procedure: Label the slides with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, and specimen source in pencil on the frosted end and
place in a container filled with 95% ethyl alcohol so that the slides are completely covered. Gently scrape the area of abnormality. Remove one of
the slides from the fixative. Quickly and evenly smear the collected material on one of the glass slides. Immediately re-immerse the slide in
fixative. Repeat the process with the second slide, if necessary, for better diagnostic yield. Submit the specimen and the completed request form to
the Cytopathology Laboratory.
Unacceptable Conditions: Refer to the Specimen Rejection in the Specimen Transport Guide.
Stability: Fixed slides: Indefinitely

2006889 Cytology, Fine Needle Aspirate with Reflex to BRAF V600E Mutation Detection by Allele-Specific PCR, Fine FR REQUEST
Needle Aspirate
Methodology: Microscopy/Polymerase Chain Reaction
Patient Preparation: For superficial aspiration, a clean technique suffices for cleansing of the skin. Local anesthetic may or may not be needed.
If more than two or three passes are anticipated, anesthetic is recommended. However, do not contaminate the lesion with a large volume of
anesthetic. Make passes so as to not affect the ability to palpate and localize the lesion. For deep aspiration, sterile technique is required and local
anesthetic is usually needed.
Use good aspiration technique and appropriate processing of the aspirate to ensure an adequate specimen.
Specimen Required: Collect: FNA specimen, include source and completed Cytology Test Request form.
Specimen Preparation: Specimen Required: Slides with air-dried smear or air-dried and Diff-Quick stained smear. Specimen should be
adequately cellular for cytologic evaluation and obtained from an appropriately performed FNA. Specimen must contain enough material for the
cytopathologist to determine if a mass lesion has been sampled.
Supplies: 10 mL syringe or syringe pistol (optional) and 23 to 27 gauge needle of appropriate length. Multiple single-end-frosted glass for
preparation of direct smears. Fixative for needle rinse (e.g., CytoRich Red, CytoLyt, Saccomanno, etc.).
Preparation of Direct Smears
Before performing the FNA, prepare slides. Use a pencil to label each slide with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, and specimen
source. After collection, carefully transfer the aspirate to the prepared slides using a method appropriate to the nature of the aspirate. If the aspirate
is abundant and fluid, gently express onto the slide. Gentle expression allows for better control of the smear and provides the greatest number of
slides per FNA pass. If the aspirate is scant or is more viscous or solid, appropriate force may be needed to express the aspirate. Excessive force
can result in fewer slides per FNA pass if the aspirate splatters off the slide during expression, and additional FNA passes may be needed if more
studies are required.
Aspirate must be smeared after application to the slide. The simplest procedure is to oppose a second glass slide onto the first, allowing the
material to provide surface tension between the two slides. Then, gently and quickly pull the two slides apart in a horizontal, sliding motion to
distribute the material in a thin film over both slides. Immediately air dry.
Page | 185
The smears should be: air-dried for Diff-Quik staining (delineate with an "A" on the frosted end of the slide).
If aspirate remains in the needle, use to, prepare additional smears or rinse needle into a tube containing fixative or a physiologic solution such as
normal saline, or RPMI.
Submit the specimen (smears and aspirate rinsed into solution) to the ARUP Cytopathology Laboratory along with a completed Cytology test
request form. If transport of specimen in fluid will be delayed more than 24 hours, submit in fixative. If transport time of fluid specimen will be
less than 24 hours, or fixative is not available, keep refrigerated or on wet ice until transport to the lab.
Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated.

obscuring blood.
2. Instruct the patient not to douche or engage in sexual intercourse within 24 hours of the procedure.
Specimen Required: Collect: (See below for specific instructions)
1. Label the slide(s) with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, and specimen source directly on the frosted end of the glass, in pencil,
before beginning the procedure. THE LABORATORY WILL NOT ACCEPT UNLABELED SLIDES. Note that a PAP smear folder labeled with
the patient's name is not adequate for patient identification. The patient information must appear on the slide.
2. Obtain all specimens prior to bimanual examination.
3. Place the patient in the lithotomy position. Using an unlubricated vaginal speculum (saline may be used as a lubricant) visualize the cervix as
fully as possible.
4. After collection and proper fixation of specific specimens as outlined below, place slide(s) in a cardboard slide folder and submit to the
Cytopathology Laboratory, with the clinical information.
Specimen Preparation: Routine Cervical/Endocervical (Pap) Smear (1 slide)*
Specimens Required: Unstained cervical or cervical/endocervical slides.
Supplies: Vaginal speculum, plastic extended-tip spatula, cytobrush***, fixative** (spray fixative or bottle of 95 percent ethyl alcohol), clean
glass slide (single-end frosted) and a black lead lab pencil.
Collection Procedure: Label one slide with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, and specimen source (prior to obtaining the specimen).
Obtain specimen prior to bimanual examination. Use an unlubricated speculum (saline or warm water may be used). After visualization of the
cervix is accomplished insert the cytobrush*** into the endocervical canal and rotate half a turn. Withdraw the cytobrush and spread the collected
material quickly and evenly onto the half of the slide opposite the frosted end. The endocervical mucus will prevent air-drying during collection of
the subsequent cervical component. Using the extended-tip spatula, scrape material with the spatula from the whole circumference of the cervix.
Withdraw the spatula and spread the collected material quickly and evenly onto the half of the slide adjacent to the frosted end. Fix immediately
(drop slide into fixative or spray with fixative, holding the spray bottle approximately 8 to 12 inches from the slide). Complete the Cytology test
request form as indicated, including relevant clinical information. Submit the specimen to the Cytopathology Laboratory.
Routine Vaginal Smear - 1 or More Slides
Indications: Can be used in conjunction with routine cervical/endocervical smears in individuals with a uterus, or alone in hysterectomized
patients.

2000134 Cytology, SurePath Liquid-Based Pap Test GA REQUEST
Methodology: Microscopy
Patient Preparation: 1. For premenopausal patients, obtain specimens during the second half of the menstrual period to avoid contamination by
obscuring blood.
2. Instruct the patient not to douche or engage in sexual intercourse within 24 hours of the procedure
Supplies: This test requires a SurePath collection kit, which includes a preservative fluid collection vial and sampling device(s). Kits may be
ordered separately through ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787 or (801) 583-2787. Also required: ARUP Cytology test request form,
permanent marker.
Specimen Required: Collect: 1. Label the vial(s) with the patient's first and last name, date of birth, and specimen source before beginning the procedure.
2. Obtain all specimens prior to bimanual examination.
3. Place the patient in the lithotomy position. Using an unlubricated vaginal speculum (saline may be used as a lubricant) visualize the cervix as
fully as possible.
4. Follow the instructions for the specific collection kit used.
Collection Procedure: Obtain cervical specimen prior to bimanual examination. Use an unlubricated speculum (saline or warm water may be
used). Vaginal discharge or secretion, when present in large amounts, should be removed before obtaining the cervical sample so as not to disturb
the epithelium (i.e., cellulose swab). Small amounts of blood will not interfere with the cytologic evaluation; however, large amounts of blood as
present during menses may interfere with cytologic evaluation because cells may be obscured by blood. Use of liquid-based specimen collection
minimizes the interference from these factors. If testing for sexually transmitted disease is indicated, the cervical cytology sample should be taken
first. After visualization of the cervix is accomplished, collect the sample. Obtain an adequate sampling from the cervix using the Rovers®
Cervex-Brush® or Cervex-Brush® Combi or the Pap Perfect® plastic spatula with the Cytobrush® Plus GT.
ROVERS® CERVEX-BRUSH® Collection (Kit #22216): Device may be referred to as broom. Position the tip of the longer bristles into the
cervical os/endocervical canal. Begin rotating in a clockwise direction (one-quarter to one-half turn). The bristles will begin to stiffen. Continue
rotating in a clockwise direction and gently push towards the cervix until the shorter bristles begin to bend extending over the ectocervix.
Complete five 360-degree rotations. Direction must be consistent. Do not alter or vary the direction of the broom during sampling. Transfer the
entire sample by placing your thumb against the back of the brush pad, and simply disconnect the entire brush from the stem into the preservative
vial. Contraindication: Do not use on pregnant patients after the first 10 weeks of gestation.
PAP PERFECT® PLASTIC SPATULA AND CYTOBRUSH® PLUS GT Collection (Kit #41126): Insert the contoured end of the Pap
Perfect plastic spatula and rotate 360 degrees around the entire exocervix. Disconnect the spatula head and place it in into the vial. Insert the
Cytobrush Plus GT into the endocervix until only the bottom most fibers are exposed at the cervical os. Slowly rotate or turn one half turn in one
direction. To reduce unnecessary bleeding, DO NOT over rotate. Disconnect the brush head and place in the preservative vial. Contraindication:
Do not use on pregnant patients or for endometrial sampling.
ROVERS® CERVEX-BRUSH® COMBI Collection (Kit #45031): Insert central bristles into the endocervical canal. Use gentle pressure on
the cervix until the lateral bristles bend against the ectocervix. Maintain gentle pressure and rotate two times in a clockwise direction by rolling the
stem between the thumb and forefinger. Disconnect the brush head and place in the preservative vial. Contraindication: This device should not
be used during pregnancy.
For all kits, recap the preservative vial and tighten. Record the patient's information and medical history on the ARUP Cytology test request form.
Place the vial and test request form in a specimen bag for transport to the laboratory.

8209715 Cytology, Vitreous Fluid VF
Methodology: Microscopy
Patient Preparation: Indications: Detection and characterization of malignant cells in the eye. In cytology, vitreous fluid is most commonly
evaluated to detect and characterize malignancy which may have gained access to the eye. Vitreous fluid specimens require special collection
procedures under the direction of an ophthalmologist. In addition, due to lack of nutrients in this fluid, cells may rapidly degenerate rendering
morphologic evaluation less than optimal if adequate care is not taken.
Specimen Required: Collect: For vitreous fluids, there is no minimum amount, but collect as much as possible.
Supplies: Standard vitreous aspiration equipment. Standard vitreous aspirate collection container for vitreous fluid. Fixative (50% ethyl alcohol).
Collection Procedure: Using standard vitreous collection procedures, collect an appropriate amount of vitreous fluid. In general, morphology of
cells within vitreous fluid can be adequately maintained with prompt refrigeration for 24 hours. Although a fresh specimen is preferred, if a longer
time period between collection and processing is anticipated, the specimen may be preserved by adding an equal volume of 50% ethyl alcohol to
the specimen. Label the specimen with patient's first and last name, date of birth and specimen source. Submit the specimen to the Cytopathology
Laboratory along with the completed Cytology request form.
Note: Specimens submitted for immunocytochemical testing must be submitted fresh. If necessary, on-call personnel can be utilized during the
evenings or on weekends for processing of urgent specimens or those which need to be processed rapidly to avoid degeneration.
Unacceptable Conditions: Refer to the Specimen Rejection section in the Specimen Transport Guide.
