Context.— Despite the clinical utility of fine-needle aspiration for the diagnosis of salivary pathologies, salivary lesions remain one of the most challenging areas in cytopathology. This is partially because there is no consensus on how to report salivary gland cytopathology, which has resulted in inconsistent terminology among institutions and individual cytopathologists and in confusion in communication among cytopathologists and ordering providers. Objective.— To summarize our experience with an institutional salivary gland cytopathology reporting system, as an initiative to promote collaborative work toward a consensus on a reporting system. Design.— We developed an empirical 6-tier classification reporting system. Slides of 107 salivary gland fine-needle aspirations with subsequent histology slides were reviewed and reclassified using the 6-tier system. The performance of the cytology reporting system was evaluated with the histology diagnoses serving as the gold standard. Results.— Fine-needle aspiration diagnoses made based on the institutional 6-tier classification system were generally consistent with histology diagnoses for the disease spectrum reported in this study. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for diagnosing malignancies with the system were 86% (12 of 14), 93% (40 of 43), 80% (12 of 15), and 95% (40 of 42), respectively. The risk of malignancy increased from 0% (0 of 13) for negative for neoplasm to 7% (2 of 29) for benign neoplasm, 67% (2 of 3) for suspicious for malignancy, and 83% (10 of 12) for positive for malignancy. Conclusions.— The institutional 6-tier system provides a succinct, risk-of-malignancy–based system to report salivary gland cytology. Our experience with this system helps to pave the way for the adoption of the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology.

Objective: Recently the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) proposed a new reporting system for breast fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) cytology. We aimed to categorize our samples according to this classification and to assess the risk of malignancy (ROM) for each category as well as the diagnostic yield of breast FNAB. Study Design: Breast FNAB specimens obtained between January 2007 and December 2017 were reclassified according to the newly proposed IAC Yokohama reporting system. The ROM for each category was determined. Diagnostic yield was evaluated based on a three-category approach, benign versus malignant. Results: The samples were distributed as follows: insufficient material 5.77%, benign 73.38%, atypical 13.74%, suspicious for malignancy 1.57%, and malignant 5.54%. Of the 3,625 cases collected, 776 (21.4%) had corresponding histology. The respective ROM for each category was 4.8% for category 1 (insufficient material), 1.4% for category 2 (benign), 13% for category 3 (atypical), 97.1% for category 4 (suspicious for malignancy), and 100% for category 5 (malignant). When only malignant cases were considered positive tests, the sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 97.56, 100, and 99.11%, respectively. Conclusions: Our study is the first to categorize breast FNAB cytology samples according to the proposed IAC reporting system and to evaluate patient outcomes based on this categorization.

BACKGROUND Neoplasms of salivary gland account for 2 - 6.5 % of all head and neck neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is sufficiently sensitive and relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of salivary gland pathologies for salivary gland lesions. The Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology (MSRSGC) represents a stage for a structured, evidence-based international reporting system for salivary gland fine-needle aspiration (FNA). This system provides a guidance for diagnosis and management according to the risk of malignancy (ROM) in different categories. We wanted to study the various cytomorphological lesions of salivary gland and their cytological categorisation based on the MILAN system of reporting. METHODS A 2-year record-based study (January 2018 to December 2019) was conducted on FNAC of salivary gland lesions in the Department of Pathology, VSSIMSAR (Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research), Burla, Odisha. Based on the classical system, all smears were studied and re-categorized into six groups according to the MILAN classification. Histological correlation was carried out in the available cases. RESULTS A total of 103 FNA cases were examined and 20 different categories were there in the original diagnosis. As per the categorisation based on MILAN System there were six categories, maximum cases were non-neoplastic 34 (33.0 %) followed by benign neoplasms 22 (21.35 %), malignant 14 (13.5 %), non-diagnostic 10 (9.7 %), atypia of undetermined significance 9 (8.7 %), suspicious for malignancy 8 (7.7 %) and neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential 6 (5.8 %). 43 cases (80.4 %) were found to be concordant out of 54 histopathology correlated cases. CONCLUSIONS The Milan system of reporting salivary gland cytopathology provided a uniform system of reporting salivary gland cytomorphology that may increase the effectiveness.
