BACKGROUND Diagnostic cytopathology is an essential part of clinical decision-making. However, due to a combination of factors including curriculum reform and shortage of pathologists to teach introductory cytopathology, this area of pathology receives little or no formal attention in most medical school curricula. We have previously described the successful use of efficient and effective digit...

Recently there has been an expansion of general and organ-specific cytopathology books. One may think there is no need for the latter since most of the general cytopathology books cover the cytopathology of organ sites extensively. This argument may not be true for all organ sites, particularly for the liver where there is a high demand for a book that illustrates the cytomorphologic aspects of...

Background/Aims: Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (TFNAB) is an effective and convenient evaluation method. It the gold standard in preoperative evaluation. The Bethesda System for Reporting Cytopathology a standardized system that has been widely used all over world. In this study, we aimed to investigate compatibility of TFNAB results, which evaluated according Cytopathology.

Neuroblastoma cells were inoculated with Naegleria fowleri Lee and examined for cytopathology at various periods post-inoculation by scanning electron microscopy. By 18 h post-inoculation, approximately 50% of neuroblastoma cells were nonviable, as evidenced by trypan blue exclusion and light microscopic examination. This cytopathology resulted from piecemeal consumption of target cells mediate...

IMPORTANCE We report our experience with uveal melanoma-specific gene expression profile (GEP) testing on a series of choroidal metastatic tumors confirmed by cytopathology so that clinicians may be aware that receiving a class 1 or class 2 test result in nonmelanoma is possible. OBSERVATIONS Retrospective review of all cytopathology and DecisionDx-UM GEP reports between January 2012 to Decem...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the role of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in cytopathology. More specifically, it aims to highlight the importance of employing ANNs in existing and future applications and in identifying unexplored or poorly explored research topics. STUDY DESIGN A systematic search was conducted in scientific databases for articles related to cytopathology and ANNs w...
