Summary

I am a pathologist with expertise in cytopathology and hematopathology. In cytopathology, we analyze cells to make a diagnosis. These cells can be obtained through non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures. One of these minimally invasive procedures is fine needle aspiration biopsy, a procedure that allows an accurate diagnosis without the need of a surgical procedure. These biopsies are highly sensitive and they can be obtained through a thin needle with minimal potential complications. They represent a safe alternative to open surgical biopsies. I and my colleagues in the Cytology service perform fine needle aspiration biopsies of superficial palpable lesions.
