Cytodiagnosis of Basal Cell Carcinoma and Actinic Keratosis Using Papanicolaou and May-grunwald-giemsa Stained Tissue Smear

The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the diagnostic performance of scrape cytology using two different cytological staining techniques, and to evaluate additional touch imprint cytology with that of histopathology of superficial basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis.
