The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPS) was first published in 2016 to standardize reporting and placed a specific emphasis on high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC). The urinary tract is anatomically divided into the upper tract (UT) and the lower tract (LT). A major morphologic criterion in TPS for HGUC defines the nuclear-to-cytopl...

SMARCA4-deficient neoplasms are recently characterized high-grade malignancies associated with a poor prognosis. The SMARCA4 gene encodes BRG1, which is part of the SWI/SNF complex. SMARCA4-deficient neoplasms have an undifferentiated, often rhabdoid morphology, and demonstrate loss of BRG1 nuclear expression on immunohistochemistry. These neoplasm...

To evaluate the incidence, risk of malignancy, and management of "suspicious for malignancy" (SFM) for non-papillary carcinoma diagnoses according to The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). A retrospective search was performed for all thyroid fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) with an SFM diagnosis in the electronic Pathology ...

The Paris System for Urine Cytology (TPS) provides well-defined diagnostic criteria for the category of atypical urothelial cells (AUC). The current study compares the rate of AUC diagnoses at a large academic medical center before and after an educational intervention (EI) by a urine cytology expert. An expert in TPS delivered an educational inter...

As the coronavirus pandemic swept across national and state borders, institutions of higher learning, including cytology, began closing campuses and moving instruction online. We have described a method of remotely teaching cytology in our institution, including using the telecytology concept used with rapid onsite evaluation and remote conferencin...

Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a highly lethal adenocarcinoma with a propensity for widespread metastatic disease in young patients. It is strongly associated with sickle cell trait and shows the loss of SMARCB1 (also known as INI1 or BAF47) protein expression. In the present study, we reviewed a series of 12 patients for whom the cytology spec...

Plasmacytoid and micropapillary variants of high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) exhibit unique histologic morphology and very aggressive clinical behavior. However, the morphology of these 2 variants in urinary cytology is not well studied and evaluated using The Paris System for reporting urinary cytology. A database search was performed in all...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The infection has predominantly respiratory transmission and is transmitted through large droplets or aerosols, and less commonly by contact with infected surfaces or fomites. The alarming spread of the infection and the severe clinical disease that it may cause h...

Small biopsies and cytology specimens have become increasingly important for clinical trials and biomarker testing. Thus, institutions must ensure that adequate lesional material meeting the specifications for a multitude of different protocols is available. This can be achieved using rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). The aim of the present study wa...
