Case Report: Pancreatic Paraganglioma Mimicking a Well‐Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumor: The Importance of Cytokeratin Immunohistochemistry [PDF]
Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 10, Page E240-E243, October 2026.ABSTRACT Paragangliomas (PGLs) are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors most commonly found in the head and neck that originate from neural crest cells. Primary pancreatic paraganglioma is exceedingly rare and has largely been described in case reports and small case series. We present the case of a 79‐year‐old woman with an incidental pancreatic head lesion

Interobserver variation among cytopathologists in the evaluation of oncocytic cell‐predominant thyroid FNA cytology: A validation study of 173 cases with surgical follow‐up and correlation with molecular testing [PDF]
Cancer Cytopathology, Volume 134, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Background Interpretation of oncocytic cell‐predominant cytologies (OCP) is very challenging as a majority of those cases are diagnosed as indeterminate, including atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) and follicular neoplasm (FN). The authors previously reported a combination of a four‐risk factor model highly predictive of neoplasia and ...

A Unified Deep Learning Framework for Instance Segmentation Across Diverse Cytological Stains [PDF]
Cytopathology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 493-502, September 2026.Transformer‐based unified cytology segmentation across Papanicolaou, Feulgen and AgNOR achieves stain‐invariant performance. Mask2Former maximises boundary precision (AP75) on the combined dataset, enabling one model to replace multiple stain‐specific deployments without accuracy loss while simplifying clinical integration.

The current status of the Papanicolaou smear [PDF]
Ca-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, 1995 Since its introduction as a screen for cervical cancer in the late 1940s, the Pap smear has become one of the most widely accepted screening procedures for cancer. Numerous scientific studies have now attested to its effectiveness. However, important issues related to the Pap smear, including cytologic nomenclature, accuracy, regulatory procedures, and

Cytopathology Terminology Systems: European Federation of Cytological Societies Survey on Practice in Europe [PDF]
Cytopathology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 459-471, September 2026.Cytology terminologies are widely accepted within Europe based on EFCS survey. The Bethesda System for reporting cervical cytology and the Bethesda System for reporting thyroid cytopathology have been implemented by most of the responding countries. ABSTRACT Cytopathologists communicate with clinicians via cytopathology reports.

Attitudes to Papanicolaou smears
Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1996 Preventive health behavior has been defined as behavior aimed at the prevention or detection of disease in an asymptomatic state. When cervical cancer is discovered and treated in the premalignant stage, the cure rate is 95% or higher. The success of the screening program for cervical cancer depends at least partially on women's acceptance of and ...

Adjusted Risk Stratification of Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules Using the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI‐RADS) [PDF]
Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background The TI‐RADS guides the initial management of thyroid nodules, but the malignancy risk across different categories of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (CITNs), particularly AUS and FN, remains unclear. Methods We reviewed thyroid FNA specimens diagnosed as AUS or FN with TI‐RADS scores of 3, 4, or 5 from 2017 to 2025 ...

The Diagnostic Value of Immunohistochemistry and Biomarkers in the Diagnosis of Mesothelioma in Pleural/Peritoneal Effusions [PDF]
Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 9, Page 631-636, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background Mesothelioma is a rare tumor that arises from the serosal cells lining the serous cavities, most commonly the pleura followed by the peritoneum. Presenting symptoms include pleuritic pain and bloody effusions that recur. Although cytologic analysis cannot determine the mesothelial subtype or in situ from invasive disease, the ...
