Does oncocytic morphology affect the performance of a 7-gene mutation panel in Bethesda IV thyroid nodules? A retrospective single-institution study
Background: Bethesda category IV includes oncocytic (OFN) and non-oncocytic follicular neoplasms (FN). We evaluated whether a 7-gene mutation panel performs differently across these cytomorphologic phenotypes. Methods: We retrospectively...

Diagnostic Significance of Cell Clusters in Voided Urine in SurePath and ThinPrep Liquid-Based Cytology
Introduction: Diagnostic significance of cell clusters (CCs) appearing in voided urine cytology remains unclear. Epithelial malignancy tends to form large clusters, but tumor cells get discohesive and clusters become smaller with disease...
