Studies have shown that expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in mature urothelial cells indicates an increased risk of urothelial carcinoma. We evaluated the utility of immunocytochemistry with a commercially available anti-hTERT antibody (SCD-A7) in 100 consecutive urine cytology specimens using ThinPrep processing. ThinPre...

Second primary nonlymphoid malignancies (SPNLM) have long been recognized as a complication of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A search was made of our cytopathology database for cases of CLL that also contained a SPNLM. Seventeen cases from 13 known CLL patients [M:F = 2.3:1; age range: 47-77 years, x = 67 years] met criteria for this study. S...

Several retrospective studies across the world have validated the role of the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytology (MSRSGC) in improving communication between pathologists and clinicians. In this study, we evaluated the applications of MSRSGC in a real-time setting for 2 years. All salivary gland lesions that underwent fine-needle asp...
