Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology of breast disease is recognized to be highly accurate and cost effective, especially when this is used in combination with clinical examination and imaging as part of a triple approach. A probabilistic/categorical approach is used for the classification of breast FNA specimens. Criteria are defined from the perspective of the likelihood of making a definitive diagnosis of cancer on excision. This approach is an accurate way of classifying breast FNA specimens, and this can be reliably applied regardless of the level of experience of the pathologist for interpreting the case. When a definitive diagnosis of malignancy is made, the next step is to determining the specific histologic types of the malignancy according to their cytological features. In order to make an accurate diagnosis of carcinoma and for correct typing a tumor, an adequate, correctly sampled aspirate without any other artifacts is required.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has become a highly preferred, minimally invasive diagnostic tool of choice in the diagnosis of a palpable breast mass owing to its sensitivity, specificity, cost-effectiveness, and expediency. Although breast needle biopsies have been widely employed recently due to the increased detection rate of non-palpable early lesions, the importance of the use of FNAC cannot be underestimated. It comprises part of the diagnostic triad for the breast along with a physical examination and mammography, which together contribute to an increasing diagnostic accuracy. The differential diagnosis of a benign and malignant lesion is of the utmost importance in the diagnosis of breast lesions, and therefore the understanding of the possible diagnostic pitfalls is of great importance.

The major categories of neuroendocrine tumors of lung are typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. The histologic classification criteria of neuroendocrine tumors are well documented in the "WHO Classification of Tumors" based on mitotic figures and necrosis. Cytologic characteristics of neuroendocrine tumors are trabecular, acinar, and solid arrangement of tumor cells and occasional rosette formation. Nuclear chromatin patterns are characteristically described as "salt and pepper chromatin pattern". Many of cytologic classifications documented in the literature are before the "WHO Classification". In this review, the cytologic features of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors are documented according to the WHO classification, and recent concepts of neuroendocrine tumors of lung are discussed.

Background and Objectives : Although it is well established that patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) have a highly favorable prognosis, the extent of thyroid surgery for PTMC remains unclear. According to the 2011 revised Korean Thyroid Association guideline, the choice of surgical strategy(total thyroidectomy versus lobectomy) for PTMC depends on solely preoperative diagnostic scrutinies-ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration cytology. We want to know how accurately these preoperative diagnostic scrutinies define the choice of surgical strategy for PTMC. Materials and Methods : For 119 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for PTMC, retrospectively, we compared the choice of surgery according to preoperative work up and postoperative pathologic findings. Results : Overall accuracy of the choice of surgery by preoperative work up was 61%. Among patients recommended lobectomy on preoperative work up, completion thyroidectomy on postoperative pathology might be necessary for 60% of patients and hidden central node metastasis was revealed in 31% of patients. Conclusions : The results of this study compel us to reinvestigate the current treatment guideline for PTMC. On current guideline according to the sonography and fine needle aspiration cytology, it might be thought to be better to choose more aggressive surgical strategy.

The color overlay pattern of thyroid shear wave elastography applied in this study distinguishes benign and malignant nodules based on the optimal cut-off value of 74.2 kPa. From august 2021 to september 2021, thyroid ultrasound and elastography were performed on 57 patients with thyroid lesions using an ultrasound device RS85 prestige (Samsung Medison, Korea) and a 2-14 MHz linear transducer. In addition, the results of classification by K-TIRADS for each thyroid nodule and the results of classification by color overlay pattern according to the kPa value of acoustic ultrasound were compared and analyzed. In the color overlay pattern, the results classified as 40 people from dark blue to light blue and 17 people from green to red were similar to the K-TIRADS category results, which were classified as 42 benign and 15 malignant. Between blue and light blue, benign, and between green and red, malignant. If the shear wave elastography method is applied before the fine-needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid nodule is performed, the differential diagnosis of thyroid tissue from benign and malignant can be predicted in advance, and it will help to reduce unnecessary invasive tests.

Background and Objectives : The usefulness of fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) for diagnosis of parotid gland tumors is controversial, because of the generalized belief requiring surgery for most parotid tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of FNAB for diagnosis in parotid gland tumors. Material and Methods : FNAB was performed in 91 patients who underwent parotid surgery at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital from January 2007 to December 2010. The result of FNAB, 11 malignancies and 75 benign tumors and 5 non-neoplasms were analyzed and compared with the final histopathologic diagnoses. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value(PPV), and negative predictive value(NPV) were calculated using final histopathologic diagnosis of the surgical specimen as the standard diagnostic reference for comparative analysis. Results : 86 specimens(94.5%) were suitable for evaluation. We compared the result of FNAB and the final histopathology in 79(89.4%) cases. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV, and NPV of FNAB for detecting pleomorphic adenoma was 95.8%, 88.4%, 92.3%, 90.2%, and 95.0%. In Warthin's tumor, results were 86.4%, 94.2%, 92.3%, 82.6%, and 95.6%. Among 11 patients who were diagnosed with malignancy on final histopathologic report, only 3(30%) patients were diagnosed with the same as on FNAB, the other 8 patients were initially diagnosed incorrectly as benign tumors in FNAB. There were no complications related to FNAB. Conclusion : Diagnostic accuracy for FNAB in benign parotid tumors was high. However, in malignant tumors, FNAB shows low diagnostic usefulness compared with benign tumors. FNAB can be effective and safe diagnostic technique for evaluating the benign parotid glands tumors.

프로게스테론 제제를 복용해 오던 12세령의 암컷 잡종 견이 복부 종괴의 평가를 위해 내원하였다. 복부 초음파 검사와 방사선 검사를 통해 확장된 자궁과 관련된 종괴를 확인하였다. 혈청 화학 검사에서는 고글로불린혈증이 나타났으며, 전기영동 검사상 급성 염증 패턴으로 판단되었다. 초음파 유도하에 종괴의 세침흡인을 실시하였으며 세포학검사를 통해 선암종이 진단되었다. 탐색적 개복을 실시하였으며 장구체의 종괴를 발견하여 자궁과 함께 종괴를 제거하는 수술을 실시하였다. 조직병리 검사결과 자궁 선암종이 진단되었으며 종양세포의 에스트로겐 수용체와 프로게스테론 수용체 발현 여부 평가를 위해 면역 염색을 실시하였다. 면역염색결과 종양세포는 두 항체에 대해 음성 결과를 보였으며, 정상 간엽세포에서만 양성 결과가 나타났다. 수술 후 1주일에 재검을 위해 내원하였는데 컴퓨터 단층촬영 검사결과 폐 전이가 확인되었다. 환자는 수술 후 40일경에 폐사하였다.

갑상선의 세침흡인 세포학적 검사에서 가장 문제가 되는 점은 여포상 종양의 진단이다. 세포학적 소견만으로는 증식성 결절성 갑상선종, 여포성 선종 및 분화가 잘 된 여포상 암종 간의 감별 진단이 매우 어려운 경우가 많다. 저자들은 최근 4년 5개월 간에 조직학적으로 확진된 여포상 종양 중 수술 전에 적합한 세포학적 검사가 시행된 15예를 대상으로 그 세포학적 소견을 재검토하였다. 여포상 선종 6예의 흡인 도말은 공 모양 또는 합포체를 형성하는 다량의 여포성 세포를 함유하고 있었고, 경도의 핵 다형성 및 작은 핵소체가 각각 2예에서 관찰되었다. 배경은 출혈성으로 교질 성분은 매우 적거나 없었다. 여포상 암종 9예도 기본적으로 선종과 유사한 세포학적 소견을 보였는데, 세포밀도가 좀더 높고, 세포집단의 모양이 더 크고 불규칙하였으며, 흩어진 개별 종양세포가 많은 것이 차이점이었다. 핵의 다형성 및 눈에 띄는 핵소체가 선종에서 보다 많은 6예 및 5예에서 각각 관찰되었으나 그 정도는 심하지 않았다. 대부분의 암종과 1예의 선종에서 종양세포 집단에 밀착한 혈관 내피세포가 관찰되었다. 전반적으로 여포상 선종 및 암종은 미미한 차이를 보여서 세포학적으로 확실히 구별하기는 어려웠으나, 많은 수의 개별 세포와 종양세포 간에 포착된 혈관내피세포의 존재는 양성보다는 악성을 시사하는 소견으로 생각되었다. 여포상 종양의 세포학에 좀더 관심을 가짐으로써 그 발견율을 현저히 높일 수 있다고 생각된다.
