RESUMO

Cytological examination of epithelial cells in cyst fluids from pancreatic mucinous cysts is the optimal method for identifying high-grade atypia (HGA), which may represent histological high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or invasive carcinoma, and thereby classify the cyst as high-risk, warranting surgical resection. Cytological features of HGA were previously described at our institution in 2013 and implemented thereafter, but performance of grading with these criteria has not yet been reported. 1322 pancreatic cyst fluid specimens (2014-2021) were identified; all pathology reports and relevant clinical data were reviewed in detail. 230 unique cysts (217 patients) contained neoplastic mucinous epithelium. Of the 230 cysts, 178 had low-grade atypia (LGA), and 52 had HGA. 97 cysts had histologic follow-up: 77 (79%) were resections and 20 (21%) were diagnostic surgical biopsies only. 92 (95%) were confirmed neoplastic mucinous cysts, 3 were adenocarcinomas, and 2 were benign entities. Among histologically confirmed neoplastic mucinous cysts, 58 had low-grade dysplasia (LGD); 34 had HGD, of which 14 also had invasive carcinoma. A significantly higher proportion of cysts with HGA (63%) demonstrated at least HGD on follow-up compared to those with LGA (26%, p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of HGA for accurately classifying a high-risk cyst were 54% and 81%, respectively. 146/230 (64%) cysts had corresponding next-generation sequencing results. 31% of HGA cysts harbored a high-risk mutation (TP53, CDKN2A, and/or SMAD4) vs. 7% of LGA cysts (p<0.001). Among cysts without histologic confirmation, 25% of HGA cysts had a high-risk mutation vs. 7% of LGA cysts. The grade of cytological atypia was predictive of overall survival and recurrence-free survival (p<0.001 and p=0.020, respectively). Implementation of cytological criteria for HGA in pancreatic mucinous cysts has relatively low sensitivity but modest specificity for classifying a high-risk cyst. Though high-risk mutations were more commonly found in cysts with HGA, their frequency is overall low. Thus, evaluating the degree of cytologic atypia, which is predictive of patient survival, provides significant value and informs patient outcomes.

RESUMO

The recently published WHO Reporting System for Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology (World Health Organization [WHO] System) is an international approach to the standardized reporting of pancreaticobiliary cytopathology, updating the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology System for Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytology (PSC System). Significant changes were made to the categorization of benign neoplasms, intraductal neoplasms, mucinous cystic neoplasms, and malignant neoplasms considered low grade. Benign neoplasms, such as serous cystadenoma, categorized as Neoplastic: benign in the PSC system, are categorized as Benign/negative for malignancy in the WHO system. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor, categorized as Neoplastic: other in the PSC system, are categorized as Malignant in the WHO System in accord with their classification in the 5th edition WHO Classification of Digestive System Tumours (2019). The two new categories of Pancreaticobiliary Neoplasm Low-risk/grade and Pancreaticobiliary Neoplasm High-risk/grade are mostly limited to intraductal neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms. Low-risk/grade lesions are mucinous cysts, with or without low-grade epithelial atypia. High-risk/grade lesions contain neoplastic epithelium with high-grade epithelial atypia. Correlation with clinical, imaging, and ancillary studies remains a key tenet. The sections for each entity are written to highlight key cytopathological features and cytopathological differential diagnoses with the pathologist working in low resource setting in mind. Each section also includes the most pertinent ancillary studies useful for the differential diagnosis. Sample reports are provided for each category. Finally, the book provides a separate section with risk of malignancy and management recommendations for each category to facilitate decision-making for clinicians.

RESUMO

CONTEXT.­: The World Health Organization (WHO) Reporting System for Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology (WHO System) is the product of a joint venture between the World Health Organization, the International Academy of Cytology, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The WHO System revises the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology System for Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytology (PSC System) and replaces the 6-tiered system with a 7-tiered system. OBJECTIVE.­: To explain the WHO System and the differences with the PSC System. DATA SOURCES.­: The WHO System and the PSC System of Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology. CONCLUSIONS.­: The diagnostic categories of the WHO System are "Insufficient/Inadequate/Nondiagnostic"; "Benign (Negative for Malignancy"'; "Atypical"; "Pancreaticobiliary Neoplasm, Low Risk/Low Grade (PaN-Low)"; "Pancreatic Neoplasm, High Risk/High Grade (PaN-High)"; "Suspicious for Malignancy"; and "Malignant." In the WHO System, the "benign" category includes both nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions, so the "Neoplastic: Benign" category of the PSC system has been eliminated. Low-grade malignancies, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs), and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) classified as "Neoplastic: Other" in the PSC System are classified as "Malignant" in the WHO System, leaving in the "Neoplasm" category intraductal lesions, which are divided into 2 new diagnostic categories: "Pancreaticobiliary Neoplasm (PaN)-Low Risk/Grade" and "PaN-High Risk/Grade." As with the PSC System, the WHO System advocates close correlation with imaging and encourages incorporation of ancillary testing into the final diagnosis, such as biochemical (carcinoembryonic antigen [CEA] and amylase) and molecular testing. The WHO System includes risk of malignancy per category, and reporting and diagnostic management options that recognize the variations in resources of low- and middle-income countries.

RESUMO

The risks of malignancy for cytologic categories in renal biopsy specimens differ from the risks in most other sites. There are obvious areas in which cytopathologists can do better at classifying these cases, and the routine use of immunohistochemistry and core-needle biopsy may improve the accuracy of the classification of these specimens.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are a cystic precursor to pancreatic cancer. IPMNs deemed clinically to be at high-risk for malignant progression are frequently treated with surgical resection, and pathological examination of the pancreatectomy specimen is a key component of the clinical care of IPMN patients. METHODS: Systematic literature reviews were conducted around eight topics of clinical relevance in the examination of pathological specimens in patients undergoing resection of IPMN. RESULTS: This review provides updated perspectives on morphological subtyping of IPMNs, classification of intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasms, nomenclature for high-grade dysplasia, assessment of T stage, distinction of carcinoma associated or concomitant with IPMN, role of molecular assessment of IPMN tissue, role of intraoperative assessment by frozen section, and preoperative evaluation of cyst fluid cytology. CONCLUSIONS: This analysis provides the foundation for data-driven approaches to several challenging issues in the pathology of IPMNs.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic biopsy procedures increasingly generate multiple tissue samples from multiple sites, and frequently retrieve concurrent cytologic specimens and small core needle biopsies. There is currently lack of consensus in subspecialized practices as to whether cytopathologists or surgical pathologists should review such samples, and whether the pathology findings should be reported together or separately. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In December 2021, the American Society of Cytopathology convened the Re-Imagine Cytopathology Task Force to examine various workflows that would facilitate unified pathology reporting of concurrently obtained biopsies and improve clinical care. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: This position paper summarizes the key points and highlights the advantages, challenges, and resources available to support the implementation of such workflows that result in "one procedure-one report".

RESUMO

The International Academy of Cytology has joined with the International Agency for Research on Cancer to bring together a group of experts in lung cytopathology to develop a WHO Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology (WHO System). This System aims to improve and standardize the reporting of cytopathology, facilitate communication between cytopathologists and clinicians, and improve patient care. The WHO System describes 5 categories for reporting lung cytopathology: 'Insufficient/Inadequate/Nondiagnostic', 'Benign', 'Atypical', 'Suspicious for malignancy', and 'Malignant', each one with a clear descriptive term, a definition, a risk of malignancy, and a suggested management algorithm. The key diagnostic cytopathologic features of each of the lesions within each category have been established by consensus through an Expert Editorial Board, who are also the authors of this review and selected for each reporting system and chosen based on their expertise in the field and/or diversity of geographical representation. Many other co-authors from around the world also contributed. The assignment of writing and editing responsibilities used the same model as that used for the WHO Classification of Tumours (https://whobluebooks.iarc.fr/about/faq/). The WHO System provides the best practice application of ancillary testing, including immunocytochemistry and molecular pathology, and guides in sampling and processing techniques to optimize the handling and preparation of specimens. The WHO System was created by the authors to be applicable globally and is based on cytomorphology with possibilities for additional diagnostic management of the patient. The authors are aware that local medical and pathology resources would differ, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The WHO Tumour Classification for Thoracic Tumors, Fifth Edition, is directly accessible through the online WHO System.

RESUMO

The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Academy of Cytology, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer have developed an approach to standardized reporting of pancreaticobiliary cytopathology. The WHO Reporting System for Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology (WHO System) revises the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology (PSC) System for Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytology published in 2015 and replaces the 6 PSC categories with 7 categories: "Insufficient/Inadequate/Nondiagnostic"; "Benign/Negative for malignancy"; "Atypical"; "Pancreaticobiliary neoplasm, low risk/grade (PaN-low)"; "Pancreatic neoplasm, high risk/grade (PaN-High)"; "Suspicious for malignancy"; and "Malignant". In the PSC system, there is a single category for "Neoplastic" lesions that includes 2 groups, 1 for benign neoplasms and 1 named "Neoplastic-other", dominated by premalignant intraductal neoplasms primarily intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and low-grade malignant neoplasms (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) and solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN). In the WHO System, benign neoplasms with virtually no risk of malignancy are included in the "Benign" category and low-grade malignancies (PanNET and SPN) are included in the "Malignant" category, as per the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Digestive System Tumors, while the non-invasive pre-malignant lesions of the ducts are divided by the cytomorphological grade of the epithelium into PaN-low and PaN-high with distinctly different risks of malignancy. Within each category, key diagnostic cytopathologic features and the ancillary studies for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation, as well as the implications of diagnosis for patient care and management, are outlined. Reporting and diagnostic management options recognize the variations in the availability of diagnostic and prognostic ancillary testing modalities in low- and middle-income countries.

RESUMO

The World Health Organization (WHO), the International Academy of Cytology, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, with expert contributors from around the world, present an international approach to standardized reporting of pancreaticobiliary cytopathology. This reporting system is one of the first in a series from various body sites that mirror the WHO Classification of Tumours series and provides an evidence-based terminology system with associated risk of malignancy and diagnostic management recommendation per diagnostic category. The WHO Reporting System for Pancreaticobiliary Cytopathology (WHO system) revises the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology (PSC) system for Reporting Pancreaticobiliary Cytology published in 2015 and replaces the six-tiered system with a seven-tiered system: "insufficient/inadequate/nondiagnostic"; "benign (negative for malignancy)," "atypical," "pancreaticobiliary neoplasm of low risk/low grade," "pancreatic neoplasm of high risk/high grade," "suspicious for malignancy," and "malignant." The principal differences between the WHO and the PSC systems revolve around the classification of neoplasia. In the PSC system, there was a single category for "neoplastic" lesions that includes two groups, one for "benign neoplasms" [primarily serous cystadenoma] and one named "other," dominated by premalignant intraductal neoplasms (primarily intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms) and low-grade malignant neoplasms [pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) and solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs)]. In the WHO system, benign neoplasms with virtually no risk of malignancy are included in the "benign" category and low-grade malignancies (PanNET and SPN) are included in the "malignant" category, as per the WHO Classification of Digestive System Tumours, thus leaving in the "neoplasm" category primarily those noninvasive premalignant lesions of the ductal system. These neoplasms are divided by the cytomorphological grade of the epithelium into low risk/low-grade and high risk/high-grade, with distinctly different risks of malignancy. As with the PSC system, the WHO system advocates close correlation with imaging and encourages incorporation of ancillary testing into the final diagnosis, such as biochemical (CEA and amylase) and molecular testing of cyst fluid and bile duct brushings. Key diagnostic cytopathological features of specific lesions or neoplasms, ancillary studies for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation, and implications of diagnosis for patient care and management are discussed. In addition, the WHO system includes reporting and diagnostic management options that recognize the variations in the availability of diagnostic and prognostic ancillary testing modalities in low- and middle-income countries, where cytopathology is particularly useful and is increasingly available in the absence of histopathological services.

RESUMO

The International Academy of Cytology has joined with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) to bring together a group of experts in lung cytopathology to develop a WHO Reporting System for Lung Cytopathology (WHO System). This WHO System defines five categories for reporting lung cytopathology, that is, "Insufficient"/"Inadequate"/"Non-diagnostic," "Benign," "Atypical," "Suspicious for malignancy," and "Malignant," each with a clear descriptive term for the category, a definition, a risk of malignancy and a suggested management algorithm. The key diagnostic cytopathology features of each of the lesions within each category have been established by consensus and will be presented more fully in a subsequent IARC e-book and published hard cover book.The WHO System provides the best practice application of ancillary testing, including immunocytochemistry and molecular pathology, and provides a review to guide sampling and processing techniques to optimize the handling and preparation of the cytopathology sample emphasizing the cytomorphological differential diagnosis to aid low-resourced settings. The authors recognize that local medical and pathology resources will vary, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, and have developed the WHO System to make it applicable worldwide based on cytomorphology with options for further diagnostic management of the patient.The online WHO System provides a direct link to the WHO Tumour Classification for Thoracic Tumours 5th Edition. It will raise the profile and use of cytopathology by increasing awareness of its current role and its potential role in the era of personalized medicine based on molecular pathology utilizing "small biopsies." Ultimately, the System will improve patient care and outcomes.This System aims to improve and standardize the reporting of cytopathology, facilitate communication between cytopathologists and clinicians and improve patient care. The System is based on the current role of lung cytopathology and synthesizes the existing evidence while highlighting areas requiring further research and the future potential role of lung cytopathology.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe our institutional experience with resected cystic tumors of the pancreas with emphasis on changes in clinical presentation and accuracy of preoperative diagnosis. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Incidental discovery of pancreatic cystic lesions has increased and has led to a rise in pancreatic resections. It is important to analyze surgical outcomes from these procedures, and the prevalence of malignancy, pre-malignancy and resections for purely benign lesions, some of which may be unintended. METHODS: Retrospective review of a prospective database spanning 3 decades. Presence of symptoms, incidental discovery, diagnostic studies, type of surgery, postoperative outcomes, and concordance between presumptive diagnosis and final histopathology were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 1290 patients were identified, 62% female with mean age of 60 years. Fifty-seven percent of tumors were incidentally discovered. Ninety-day operative mortality was 0.9% and major morbidity 14.4%. There were 23 different diagnosis, but IPMN, MCN, and serous cystadenoma comprised 80% of cases. Concordance between preoperative and final histopathological diagnosis increased by decade from 45%, to 68%, and is presently 80%, rising in parallel with the use of endoscopic ultrasound, cytology, and molecular analysis. The addition of molecular analysis improved accuracy to 91%. Of misdiagnosed cases, half were purely benign and taken to surgery with the presumption of malignancy or premalignancy. The majority of these were serous cystadenomas. CONCLUSIONS: Indications and diagnostic work-up of cystic tumors of the pancreas have changed over time. Surgical resection can be performed with very low mortality and acceptable morbidity and diagnostic accuracy is presently 80%. About 10% of patients are still undergoing surgery for purely benign lesions that were presumed to be malignant or premalignant. Further refinements in diagnostic tests are required to improve accuracy.

RESUMO

Biliary duct brushing cytology is the standard of care for the assessment of bile duct strictures but suffers from low sensitivity for the detection of a high-risk stricture. Pathologic diagnosis of strictures is optimized by integration of cytomorphology and molecular analysis with fluorescence in situ hybridization or next-generation sequencing. Bile duct cancers are genetically heterogeneous, requiring analysis of multiple gene panels to increase sensitivity. Using molecular analysis as an ancillary test for bile duct brushing samples aids in the identification of mutations that support the diagnosis of a high-risk stricture as well as the identification of actionable mutations for targeted therapies currently in clinical trials for the treatment of patients with bile duct cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Quality and safety are the foundation of the practice of cytopathology. Review of key performance indicator (KPI) data can shine a light on laboratory vulnerabilities and potential areas for targeted improvement. The rate and content of amendment reports is a frequently monitored KPI in anatomic pathology, but few have studied its value in cytopathology. The goal of this study was to examine the frequency, classification, and outcome of amendments for a large cytopathology laboratory. METHODS: All amendment reports issued for cases during a 2-year period from July 2019 to June 2021 were included in the study. Amendments were classified into three error type root causes: Specimen Identification Error, General Report Defects, and Diagnostic Error. RESULTS: A total of 202 amendment reports were issued equating to a rate of 0.275%. A total of 83 (41.1%) were gynecologic cases and 119 (58.9%) were nongynecologic cases. Within the gynecologic cases, 13 (15.7%) cases were due to Specimen Identification Error, 13 (15.7%) cases were due to Diagnostic Error, and 57 (68.7%) cases were due to General Report Defects. Within the nongynecologic cases, 15 (12.6%) cases were due to Specimen Identification Error, 30 (25.2%) cases were due to General Report Defects, and 74 (62.2%) cases were due to Diagnostic Error with 32 of these due to true diagnostic change. Discovery methods included following re-review after additional clinical information was provided, reinterpretation after additional ancillary testing was performed, or conference review. There was no correlation with years in practice. CONCLUSIONS: Studying amendment reports is an underrecognized and valuable quality assurance tool. Amendments can help provide information about types of errors, monitor laboratory processes, and help guide quality improvement endeavors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has proposed an updated international classification system for reporting pancreaticobiliary cytology. Substantial changes to the prior Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology (PSC) system have been recommended. Chiefly, the "neoplastic: benign" and "neoplastic: other" categories have been replaced by 2 new categories-"pancreatic neoplasia-low-grade" (PaN-Low) and "pancreatic neoplasia-high-grade" (PaN-High)-stratifying neoplastic mucinous cysts by cytological atypia. Low-grade malignancies are placed in the "malignant" category and benign serous cystadenoma in the "benign/negative" category. Risk of malignancy (ROM) associated with the diagnostic categories of the WHO system has yet to be defined. METHODS: All patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for a pancreatic lesion at a single institution from January 2016 to December 2016, prospectively classified using the PSC system, were reclassified using the WHO system. Absolute ROM was determined by histologic outcome and/or clinical follow-up of at least 6 months. RESULTS: A total of 334 EUS-FNA samples from 322 patients were reviewed and reclassified. Absolute ROM for the WHO system was 7.7% for "insufficient/inadequate/nondiagnostic" category, 1.0% for "benign/negative for malignancy," 28.0% for "atypical," 4.8% for "PaN-Low," 60.0% for "PaN-High," 100% for "suspicious for malignancy," and 100% for "malignant;" the absolute ROM for the same cohort using the PSC system was 7.7% for "nondiagnostic" category, 1.0% for "negative (for malignancy)," 28.0% for "atypical," 0.0% for "neoplastic: benign," 30.3% for "neoplastic: other," 100% for "suspicious (for malignancy)," and 100% for "positive or malignant." CONCLUSIONS: The WHO international system achieves improved stratification by associated ROM compared to the PSC system.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a well-established method for sampling breast lesions with high accuracy and positive predictive value. Despite its decline in recent years relative to the use of core needle biopsies, there are several advantages to FNA which include cost-effectiveness, low complication rate, and the ability to perform rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). The aim of this study was to evaluate breast FNAs with ROSE to identify diagnostic challenges during ROSE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified all breast FNAs with ROSE performed at Massachusetts General Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. From the electronic medical record, clinical, radiological, and follow-up pathology results were recorded. Comparison between the rapid and final cytological diagnosis was made. All discrepancies were documented with major discrepancy defined as a malignant rapid interpretation not confirmed on final diagnosis or a negative rapid interpretation upgraded to suspicious or positive on final diagnosis. RESULTS: The study cohort consisted of 483 breast FNAs with ROSE. The rapid and final cytological interpretations showed good correlation, with only 6 (1.2%) major discrepancies. Problematic areas included low-grade, lobular, and fibroepithelial lesions with low cellularity being a contributory factor to misclassification. CONCLUSIONS: FNA remains a highly accurate method for the evaluation of breast lesions with ROSE.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Determining the risk of malignancy in a pancreatic cyst (PC) is a clinical and diagnostic challenge. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) Das-1 test was shown to have high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in detecting high-risk (HR) cysts. Das-1 mAb test detects HR mucinous cysts with high-grade dysplasia (HGD), invasive carcinoma, and/or intestinal-type epithelium. Correlation of mAb Das-1 testing of PC fluids with cytomorphologic findings has not been evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We correlated cytology with mAb Das-1 test results and resection histology in 26 PCs. There were 18 intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), 1 intraductal oncocytic papillary neoplasm (IOPN), 4 mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN), 2 serous cystadenomas, and 1 cystic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET). HR cysts included cysts with high-grade atypia on cytology or HGD on histology, invasive carcinoma, IOPNs, and cystic PanNETs. Intestinal type IPMNs were also HR cysts on histology. RESULTS: In 17 cases (65.38%), cytology and mAb Das-1 test correlated with histology. There were 2 (7.69%) mAb Das-1 test negative HR PCs diagnosed by cytology. Five (19.23%) mAb Das-1 test positive HR PCs had mucin only or cells with low-grade dysplasia on cytology. Two mAb Das-1 test positive HR PCs had nondiagnostic cytology. HR IOPN and cystic PanNET were not detected by mAb Das-1 test. CONCLUSION: The mAb Das-1 is a sensitive and specific biomarker for detecting HR mucinous PCs. Adding cytology to mAb Das-1 testing improves the sensitivity for the detection of nonmucinous HR PC. Together, cytology with mAb Das-1 testing is more accurate than either one alone.
