Background: Thyroid nodules are very common clinical problem and thyroid cancer is becoming more prevalent. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become a well established modality in the diagnosis, staging follow up of nodules. FNAC results routinely classified using Bethesda system for reporting cytopathology. The cytopathology significant step to standardize FNA reporting. It high repro...

The antiprotozoal agent quinacrine is a lipophilic cationic drug highly distributed to tissues. It has been used in the present experiments to examine whether the vacuolar and autophagic cytopathology induced by organic amines is independent from the therapeutic class. Furthermore, we tested the presence of the concentrated cationic drug itself in the enlarged vacuoles by exploiting the intense...

As outlined, the Bethesda system for reporting gyne-cologic cytopathology (TBS) has been taken as a model for consensus building and reporting in thyroid-fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. 1 The history of this process is reviewed in the article in this issue of the Journal by Cibas and Ali. 2 In parallel with the evolutionary path taken by the gynecologic materials, the current effort has ...

Controversy exists regarding the need for and appropriate form of notes addended to cervical cytology reports. The Guidelines Task Force of the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology reviewed the pertinent literature and formulated a list of suggested guidelines to aid practicing cytopathologists in conforming to the National Cancer Institute Bethesda Workshop's consensus recommendations and to ...

The XC rat cell line was found to support the replication of a strain of the Moloney murine sarcoma-leukemia virus. In growth curve experiments cytopathology was paralleled by the production of murine sarcoma virus and leukemia virus progeny having the biologic, antigenic, and biophysical properties of the infecting virus.
