Interobserver agreement in the cytologic grading of atypia in neoplastic pancreatic mucinous cysts with the 2 ‐tiered approach

CONCLUSIONSThis study shows that the cytologic recognition of HG dysplasia or worse as HG atypia in pancreatic mucinous cysts has a good degree of interobserver reproducibility among cytopathologists. In contrast, a problematic area with a lack of agreement appears to be the cytologic recognition of LG and IG dysplasia as LG atypia. Additional studies with the development of reproducible criteria and educational tools may help with this challenging distinction. Cancer Cytopathol 2016. © 2016 American Cancer Society.
