Flow cytometry immunophenotyping of vitreous specimens does not contribute to diagnosis of lymphoma without supporting morphologic features
ConclusionsDiagnostic vitrectomy with cytopathology evaluation is valuable, and concomitant FCI is useful to confirm intraocular lymphoma. However, the absence of large lymphocytes on cytologic examination is the single significant predictor of a negative FCI, and this finding should preclude the use of FCI.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the pancreas: Case report
We present the case of an 81‐year‐old man with past medical history of PTC status post total thyroidectomy with local recurrence treated with radioactive iodine and selective neck dissection. Ten years after his initial diagnosis, PET‐CT scan revealed a new hypermetabolic 1.1 cm × 0.9 cm left lower lobe lung nodule and hypermetabolism in the proximal body of the pancreas. Follow‐ up MRI cholangiogram showed a 1.0 × 0.8 cm T1 hypointense lesion in the proximal body of the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy of the pancreatic mass showed neoplastic epithelial cells arranged in p...

Amelanotic primary vaginal melanoma: A case report with cyto ‐histological correlations
We report a case of an 89 ‐year‐old woman presenting with vaginal bleeding and a non‐pigmented lesion in the lower third of the vagina at the gynaecological examination. A PAP smear and tissue incisional biopsy were concurrently performed. The cytological sample showed a subpopulation of non‐cohesive, atypical epithe lioid cells suggestive for malignancy. The histological examination showed the same morphological characteristics in the neoplastic population widely underlying the vaginal epithelium, with scattered intraepithelial nests and single elements. In both samples, there was no evidence of melanin pigment wi...

Fine needle aspiration cytology in Mozambique: Report of a 15 ‐year experience
ConclusionOur results clearly demonstrate that even in an environment with poor laboratory resources, it is possible to establish a FNAC clinic that can provide a quick and precise diagnosis for clinicians to aid in early treatment interventions, especially in inflammatory diseases which were the majority of our cases.

Risk stratification of salivary gland cytology utilizing the Milan system of classification
ConclusionThe ROM reported in our study was mostly concordant with ROM published by the MSRSGC. This classification is helpful for the management of categories; nondiagnostic, non ‐neoplastic, benign neoplasm, suspicious for malignancy and malignant. The management is not standardized for the category, salivary gland neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential, as clinical information plays an important role in planning surgical procedures at an individual basis. Further stud ies will need to be performed using this new classification to help define appropriate management and predict ROM more accurately. (Source: Diagnostic Cytopathology)

Cytomorphology of ciliated foregut cyst of the pancreas
We report a case of ciliated foregut cyst in pancreas in an asymptomatic patient diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology. We also discuss the cytology features that would help with the diagnosis, and the differential diagnosis that should be considered. (Source: Diagnostic Cytopathology)

Touch imprint (TI) cytology of needle core biopsies (NCB) in pathology laboratories: A practice survey of participants in the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Non Gynecologic Cytopathology (NGC) Education Program
ConclusionsThis is the first survey performed specifically to determine the practice of adequacy assessment of TI of NCB. Cytotechnologists are generally not performing adequacy assessment of TI without pathologist oversight. A single report is usually issued which includes the adequacy assessment as a part of the final report. (Source: Diagnostic Cytopathology)

Lobular breast carcinoma metastasis to skeletal muscle, two case reports diagnosed by ultrasound guided FNA with evaluation of the roles of interventional cytopathology
We report two cases of breast cancer metastatic to the skeletal muscle, diagnosed by ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (US ‐FNA) biopsy done by interventional cytopathologists at an outpatient cytopathology center. Our two patients presented with lower anterior neck firmness and chest wall mass, respectively. Ultrasound evaluation of our first case demonstrated hypo‐echoic thickened anterior strap muscles while in t he second case there was significant distortion of the anatomy from previous surgeries. It was necessary to proceed with FNA biopsy even when their ultrasound findings were equivocal, to establish a ...

Cervical cancer screening by molecular Pap ‐transformation of gynecologic cytology
ConclusionLBC with HPV cotesting improves sensitivity and specificity and reduces ambiguous results; allows better compliance, as a negative result of both tests allows patients to get screening every 5 years, thereby increasing screening intervals, important in a resource limited situation.
