Coming to terms with NIFTP: A provisional approach for cytologists
The new term NIFTP (noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary‐like nuclear features) for some thyroid tumors poses significant challenges for cytopathologists. This commentary represents a provisional approach to NIFTP that others may consider adopting and that will hopefully prompt further discussion and research on how NIFTP should fit into future cytology practice.

Algorithmic approach to neuroendocrine tumors in targeted biopsies: Practical applications of immunohistochemical markers
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with distinct biological behaviors, depending on the site of origin and the degree of tumor proliferation. Although advances in biochemical and radiological modalities have enhanced the ability to detect NETs, tissue diagnosis remains the gold standard to assess tumor characteristics for treatment decision making. In an era with growing demands for precision diagnostics based on smaller tissue samples, immunohistochemistry has become an indispensable tool in the pathologist's repertoire. In conjunction with clinical findings and cytomorphology, comp...

Nodular fasciitis: A frequent diagnostic pitfall on fine ‐needle aspiration
CONCLUSIONSIn the current study, the diagnosis of NF was suggested in nearly 40% of cases. Combining the clinical presentation with the most commonly described cytomorphologic features will appropriately triage the majority of cases, although uncertainty will remain in a significant number of cases.

Pediatric thyroid FNA biopsy: Outcomes and impact on management over 24 years at a tertiary care center
CONCLUSIONSFNAB remains a valuable tool for preoperative assessment of pediatric thyroid nodules. When samples are adequate for assessment, cytology other than clearly “benign” merits referral for diagnostic or therapeutic thyroidectomy. In this series, FNAB did not reduce rates of surgery for benign disease. Cancer Cytopathol 2016. © 2016 American Cancer Society. (Source: Cancer Cytopathology)

The positive predictive value of “suspicious for high‐grade urothelial carcinoma” in urinary tract cytology specimens: A single‐institution study of 665 cases
CONCLUSIONSDiagnoses of suspicious for high‐grade urothelial carcinoma, as used at the authors' institution, have an ROM that is high but is lower than that for the “positive” category. Therefore, the authors suggest keeping the 2 categories separate, although management should be aggressive in both groups. Cancer Cytopathol 2016. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Reverse transcription –polymerase chain reaction molecular testing of cytology specimens: Pre‐analytic and analytic factors
The introduction of molecular testing into cytopathology laboratory practice has expanded the types of samples considered feasible for identifying genetic alterations that play an essential role in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR), a sensitive and specific technical approach for amplifying a defined segment of RNA after it has been reverse‐transcribed into its DNA complement, is commonly used in clinical practice for the identification of recurrent or tumor‐specific fusion gene events. Real‐time RT‐PCR (quantitative RT‐PCR), a technical variation, also p...
