Crash Course in Cytopathology: Thorax, Soft Tissue, Head and Neck, Liver, Pancreatobiliary and Genitourinary Tract

Multiple revisions and updates have recently been created for the standardized reporting and classification of cytologic samples from non-neoplastic and neoplastic processes involving the pancreatobiliary tract, liver, thyroid, head and neck (including salivary gland), urine, kidneys, adrenal gland, serous fluids, lung and soft tissue. These standardized reporting schemes provide a framework for the consistent categorization of cytopathology reports and allow cytopathologists to convey clear and consistent diagnostic information, in language uniformly understood by pathologists and clinicians the world over. New developments in the diagnosis, grading and nomenclature are not fully appreciated in the community, often leading to errors in diagnosis and delayed or inappropriate patient management. This case-based course illustrates new guidelines, practical clues, daily challenges, diagnostic pearls and pitfalls, as well as the proper handling of specimens from these sites along with accurate cytologic diagnosis of neoplasms, as well as their distinction from, key cytomorphologic mimics. This course emphasizes the new guidelines (including WHO), pearls, and common pitfalls and offers pathologists a unique perspective into the key diagnostic cytomorphometric signatures of common entities, which they can apply to daily signout in any practice setting.
