Yellow hyaline membrane disease in neonates: clinical diagnosis by tracheal aspiration cytology.

Yellow hyaline membrane disease (YMH) of the neonate may be diagnosed clinically by tracheal aspiration cytology, an easily accessible, noninvasive, and safe technique. Since the frequent association of yellow membranes and kernicterus in premature infants at relatively low levels of serum bilirubin is significant, this means of diagnosis during life may be useful in identifying infants at risk for kernicterus. We also suggest use of this technique in evaluating the role of possible factors in the pathophysiology of yellow hyaline membranes.

Tracheal aspiration cytology in neonates with respiratory distress: histopathologic correlation.

This report evaluates the use of tracheal aspiration cytology in the differential diagnosis of respiratory distress in neonates by correlating cytologic features with histopathologic findings in 72 infants who died and were autopsied at Magee-Womens Hospital. It is concluded that the common causes of respiratory distress in neonates, including hyaline membrane disease (conventional and yellow), pneumonia, aspiration syndrome, pulmonary hemorrhage and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, may be diagnosed in adequate smears by this easily accessible, noninvasive, safe and repetitive method.

Psammoma bodies and detached ciliary tufts in a cervicovaginal smear associated with benign ovarian cystadenofibroma.

Psammoma bodies and detached ciliary tufts, or ciliocytophthoria, were present in a cervicovaginal smear from a 38-year-old woman with a benign cystadenofibroma of the left ovary. This case demonstrates that psammoma bodies in cervicovaginal smears may occur in association with nonmalignant conditions of the female genital tract and that detached ciliary tufts may originate from the ovarian epithelium.
