The century for cytopathology.

Guidelines of the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology for fine-needle aspiration procedure and reporting. The Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology Task Force on Standards of Practice.

This guideline document was developed by the Standards of Practice Task Force of the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology, based on extensive literature reviews and the personal practical experience of task force members. The draft guidelines were then subjected to expert review. The task force made revisions to the drafts based on the responses received from the consultant members, who are re...

Head and neck involvement including maxillofacial and oral involvement of cysticercosis is quite rare.  Case Report: We report a series of rare cases of cysticercosis of the head and neck region encountered in a tertia...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration plus KRAS and GNAS mutation in malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas

Background:KRAS and GNAS mutations are common in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia of the pancreas (IPMN). The aims of this study were to assess the role of pre-therapeutic cytopathology combined with KRAS and GNAS mutation assays within cystic fluid sampled by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) to predict malignancy of IPMN. Patients and methods: We prospectiv...
