Identification of oestrogen, progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression in mediastinal metastases of breast cancer obtained by endobronchial ultrasound ‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration
ConclusionIn patients with breast cancer mediastinal metastases, ER, PR and HER2 expression can be assessed in samples obtained by EBUS‐TBNA whenever a sufficient tissue sample is collected. (Source: Cytopathology)

FNA diagnosis of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. A review of the recent literature
Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is a follicular cell‐derived tumour that was recognised as a distinct entity by the World Health Organisation in 2004. The natural history and pathological features of PDTC are reported to be intermediate between those of well‐differentiated and undifferentiated (anaplastic) thyroid carcinomas. Preoperative identification of PDTC could facilitate better initial patient management in many cases, namely more extensive surgery, without any delay. However, according to some experts, a diagnosis of PDTC can only be rendered on histologic specimens based on criteria recommended ...

Molecular testing of BRAF, RAS and TERT on thyroid FNAs with indeterminate cytology improves diagnostic accuracy
ConclusionsMutation profiling can be successfully performed on thyroid LB‐FNA without any dedicated sample in a pathology laboratory. It is an easy way to improve diagnostic accuracy of routine LB‐FNA and may help to better select patients for surgery and to avoid unnecessary thyroidectomies. (Source: Cytopathology)

Primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma: A diagnostic challenge
Primary pleural squamous cell carcinoma is exceedingly rare. Diagnosis is challenging because of the rarity of the neoplasm, the possibility of secondary involvement of the pleura by metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and the fact that cytology may be interpreted as squamoid malignant mesothelioma. A cell‐block or a core‐biopsy is necessary to perform immunohistochemical tests and confirm the squamous nature of the tumour and exclude a malignant mesothelioma. This is crucial for appropriate clinical management of the patient. (Source: Cytopathology)

Significance of bizarre cells in cervical screening liquid ‐based cytology: A prospective study of 15 cases
ConclusionsIdentification of bizarre cells in LBC is straightforward and may facilitate diagnosis. The cytology of bizarre cells is associated with HSIL in cone biopsies. We recommend assigning LBC samples containing bizarre cells as ASC‐H with secondary diagnosis of LSIL. (Source: Cytopathology)

Training in molecular cytopathology testing
We describe training of pathologists as part of the NI Deanery medical curriculum, the NI training programme for scientists and laboratory rotation for Biomedical Scientists. Collectively, the aims of our training are two‐fold: to provide a means by which individuals may extend their experience and skills; and to provide and maintain a skilled workforce for service delivery. Through training and competency, we introduce new technologies and tests in response to personalised medicine therapies with a competent workforce. We advocate modifying programmes to suit individual needs for skill development, with formalised cours...

Reproducibility of diagnostic criteria associated with atypical breast cytology
ConclusionInterobserver and intraobserver variability remains a significant challenge for cytologists. Despite attempts to define significant criteria associated with C3, good reproducibility could not be achieved. The C3 category is imprecise and highlights the inadequacy of the current classification reporting categories for breast FNA. The impending review of reporting breast cytology by the International Academy of Cytology is timely and appropriate. (Source: Cytopathology)

Enigma portal case: Pleural effusion
The current case is a well‐documented rare case of a 14‐year‐old female with metastatic PTES to the pleural fluid, detailing its cytological and immunophenotypical features. Knowledge of possible morphological aspects of involvement of such singular cases are essential to include these entities as possible differentials along the patients’ diagnostic workup.
