Performance of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 break-apart FISH in small biopsies with large B-cell lymphoma: a retrospective Cytopathology Hematopathology Interinstitutional Consortium study Open
Introduction Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is an essential ancillary study used to identify clinically aggressive subsets of large B-cell lymphomas that have MYC, BCL2 , or BCL6 rearrangements. Small-volume biopsies such as fin…

Small volume biopsy diagnostic yield at initial diagnosis versus recurrence/transformation of follicular lymphoma: A retrospective Cyto‐Heme Interinstitutional Collaborative study Open
Background Few studies have evaluated diagnostic yield of small volume biopsies (SVB) for the diagnosis and management of follicular lymphoma (FL). Methods The authors performed a multi‐institutional retrospective analysis of SVBs includin…

Diagnostic Discrepancies in Small-volume Biopsy for the Initial Diagnosis, Recurrence, and Transformation of Follicular Lymphoma Open
Small-volume biopsies (SVBs) including fine-needle aspiration (FNA), cell block, and needle core biopsies (NCB) are increasingly utilized to diagnose and guide the clinical management of lymphoma. We established a multi-institutional inter…

Cytomorphologic features of pediatric-type follicular lymphoma on fine needle aspiration biopsy: case series and a review of the literature Open
We present four cases of PTFL initially evaluated on FNA biopsy and define the cytomorphologic features of PTFL. FNA biopsy is presented as a practical tool for initial evaluation of this rare entity as part of a multimodal diagnostic appr…

Cancers associated with human gammaherpesviruses Open
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV; human herpesvirus 4; HHV‐4) and Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV; human herpesvirus 8; HHV‐8) are human gammaherpesviruses that have oncogenic properties. EBV is a lymphocryptovirus, whereas HHV‐8/KSHV i…

Impact of initial biopsy type on the time to final diagnostic biopsy in patients with follicular lymphoma and suspected histologic transformation Open
Diagnosis of histologic transformation (HT) of follicular lymphoma (FL) requires tissue biopsy. While surgical biopsy represents the gold standard, less invasive procedures such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core needle biops…

Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma: Variant Patterns, Borderlines and Mimics Open
Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) represents approximately 5% of Hodgkin lymphoma and typically affects children and young adults. Although the overall prognosis is favorable, variant growth patterns in NLPHL correlat…

Global Cytopathology-Hematopathology Practice Trends Open
Objectives Small-volume biopsy—fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) with or without core biopsy—is in increasing use in diagnosis and management of lymphoma patients. Our objective was to survey the current practice in small-volume biopsy …

Recurrent follicular thyroid carcinoma metastatic to axillary lymph nodes mimicking pulmonary adenocarcinoma Open
Differentiated thyroid cancers generally have favorable prognoses, though follicular thyroid cancer is overall associated with a worse prognosis due in part to increased incidence of distant metastasis. We report a case of a 51-year-old wo…

CD20-Negative Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma: A 20-Year Consecutive Case Series From a Tertiary Cancer Center Open
Context.— Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare, indolent Hodgkin lymphoma subtype with distinct clinicopathologic features and treatment paradigms. The neoplastic lymphocyte-predominant cells typically express …

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen–Targeted Imaging With [18F]DCFPyL in High-Grade Gliomas Open
High-grade gliomas (World Health Organization grade III-IV) are highly lethal primary brain tumors. Imaging modalities, including MRI and FDG PET, provide a limited ability to differentiate treatment effects (such as radiation necrosis) fr…

“…That which we call a Rose…”: A critical analysis of rapid on‐site evaluation Open
We read with great interest the timely and thoughtful commentary regarding rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) by Dr. Zakowski.1 The author noted that if an operator has a high accuracy rate without ROSE, there may be little opportunity for hi…
