Rationale

The Diagnostic Cytopathology Scheme Cell Block is designed to assess the quality of cell block preparations, and their appropriate sampling, preparation and staining for diagnostic purposes. All of these stages need to be completed to the best of our ability in order for the pathologist to have the maximum amount of accurate information in order to inform an accurate diagnosis for the patient.

Submission

1 Paraffin wax embedded cell block together with the corresponding H&E stained section, from 2 distinct diagnostic cell block cases, for the date indicated with each distribution.
