Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Fine-Needle Aspiration with Ultrasound and Histologic Correlation of 41 Cases.

  Abstract. Objective: The encapsulated follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (FVPC) was recently reported to have genetic alterations and biological behavior closer to follicular adenoma/carcinoma than classic papillary carcinoma and unencapsulated FVPC. The objective of this study is to alert cytologists to this new subtype and to report our experience. Study Design: Cytology of 41SigueSigue leyendo «Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Fine-Needle Aspiration with Ultrasound and Histologic Correlation of 41 Cases.»

Cytological Diagnosis of Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma before and after the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.

Abstract. Background: The follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) is the second most common subtype of papillary carcinoma after the classical variant. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) has been introduced to standardize the practice of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) reporting. We evaluated the impact of TBSRTC on the FNA interpretationSigueSigue leyendo «Cytological Diagnosis of Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma before and after the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology.»

New Concept of the Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Its Impact on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology: A Single-Institute Experience.

Abstract. Background: The encapsulated follicular variant (EFV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most discussed entity in thyroid pathology. Recently, the question of whether or not EFV-PTC is a malignant entity has been the subject of renewed discussion in the light of recent molecular and clinical studies. The aim of this study was toSigueSigue leyendo «New Concept of the Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Its Impact on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology: A Single-Institute Experience.»

Risk of HSIL (CIN 2–3) on colposcopic biopsy is minimal in postmenopausal women with LSIL on cytology and a negative HRHPV test.

Abstract. Background: Current cervical cancer screening guidelines recommend a 1-year follow-up period for patients with a postmenopausal low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) who are test negative for high-risk human papillomavirus (HrHPV). The aim of this study was to assess whether such patients had an increased immediate risk of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Methods: We assessedSigueSigue leyendo «Risk of HSIL (CIN 2–3) on colposcopic biopsy is minimal in postmenopausal women with LSIL on cytology and a negative HRHPV test.»

Management of ASC-US or LSIL of the uterine cervix with human papilloma virus infection among young women aged less than 25 years.

Abstract.Current ASCCP guidelines recommend repeat cytology 12 months after HPV-positive results in women aged 21–24 years with either atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL). The purpose of this study was to validate an algorithm in such women with ASCUS or LSIL. A multicenter cross-sectional study was carriedSigueSigue leyendo «Management of ASC-US or LSIL of the uterine cervix with human papilloma virus infection among young women aged less than 25 years.»
