A Synovial Fluid Examination for Malignant Cells (Cytology) is a specialized test that looks for cancer cells in the fluid of a joint. While synovial fluid analysis is usually done to check for gout or infections, this specific cytology screen is used when a doctor suspects that a tumor is affecting the joint space.
Malignant involvement of the joint is relatively rare, but when it occurs, it usually involves cancer that has spread from another part of the body (metastasis) or a rare primary tumor of the joint lining.
