Tongue Scrapping Cytology for Malignant Cells

Tongue scraping cytology is a diagnostic test used to detect malignant or abnormal cells on the tongue, often for the early detection of oral cancer. The procedure involves gently scraping the surface of the tongue with a sterile spatula or brush to collect cells, which are then examined under a microscope. No special preparation is needed, and the procedure is generally low-risk, with only minor discomfort or slight bleeding possible. Results are interpreted by identifying abnormal cells, which could indicate conditions such as infections, precancerous changes, or cancer. Factors like poor sample collection or inflammation may affect accuracy, and results are typically available in a few days.
