We send the specimen back to the doctor's office. We add a neon yellow
sticker to the front of the bag to alert that it is unlabelled.

Subject: [Histonet] Cytology Question

Hey Histonetters!
   
  I'm posting a question for a collegue of mine.  She works in cytolgoy.
She would like to know how other people handle unlabeled/mislabeled PAP
specimens.  What is your policy?  She posted on a cyto forum, but has not
had any luck getting responses.  I figured since some histo techs also do
cytology prep someone here could help her.  Thanks in advance.
