Background Sputum cytology examines a sputum (mucus) sample under a microscope to determine whether abnormal cells are present. Sputum is not the same as saliva. Sputum is produced in the lungs and the airways leading to the lungs. Sputum has some normal lung cells in it. Sputum cytology may be done to help detect certain non-cancerous lung conditions. It may also be done when lung cancer is suspected. Materials and Methods This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among woodworkers from December 2022 to February 2024. This study aimed to detect cytological changes in sputum. Eighty sputum samples (40 from cases, another 40 from controls) were taken from woodworkers as cases and healthy nonwood workers individuals as a control group; collected samples were processed through the conventional cytological method.
