It is wonderful to hear that the West Bengal Cytology Society is organizing the Prof Subir Kumar Dutta
Memorial CME and XIVth Annual state Cytology Conference 2021 on 2nd and 3rd of October under the
stewardship of Dr Mamata Guha Mallick Sinha, President, and Dr Indranil Chakrabarti, Secretary, WBCS. Going through the scientic programme I note that the meeting addresses very contemporary topics in cytopathology. The ofine meeting restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic I am sure will not come in the way of spread of knowledge. In fact, the online platform being adopted will have a pan India reach rather than being restricted to the boundaries of West Bengal. Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, has been quoted as saying “change is the only constant in life.” One's ability to adapt to those changes will determine one's success in life. Well, this applies equally to the eld of cytopathology. Such conferences and CMEs provide the platform for the practicing cytopathologists and the residents to update their knowledge and keep abreast with the ever-evolving practice of cytology.I hope that the online CME and Conference will witness enthusiastic participation by postgraduate students and practicing cytopathologists. Best wishes for the successful organisation of the event.

Message from IAC President
I am very happy to learn that the West Bengal Cytology Society is organizing the Prof. Subir Kumar Dutta Memorial CME and the XIV Annual State Cytology Conference, on Oct2-3, 2021. The conference is being organized in a fully virtual mode in view of the ongoing COVID pandemic. Indeed, I look ta this development as a positive development as online formats have the potential for greater outreach and minimizes the carbon footprint and wastage of resources that ofine conferences entail. The Scientic program looks very appetizing with salivary gland as the theme of the CME and following the CME, I am sure that this topic will be more easily digestible! The Scientic program of the conference has excellent speakers including Dr.Mondal, former President of IAC. State conferences also give the students of that state the opportunity to present posters and papers. My best wishes for the success of the CME and conference and warm regards to all the Ofce bearers, members of the society and the conference delegates. I do hope that following the wonderful appetizer by WBCS, all of you will join the main Feast of Golden Jubilee conference of the Indian Academy of Cytologists scheduled for November 20-21 with Pre-conference CME, post-conference workshops, award sessions, lectures and symposia.
Warm regards,Radhika Srinivasan,Secretary, IAC

Message From Organizing Secretary
Dear friends,
It is my proud privilege to welcome you all to the Prof Subir Kumar Du�a Memorial CME and XIVth Annual State
Cytology Conference, 2021 organized by the West Bengal Cytology Society, the West Bengal Chapter of Indian
Academy of Cytologists (IAC) on 2nd and 3rd of October,2021.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that has gripped the whole world, an offline meet is best avoided and hence, we
are again forced to organize this year's academic feast on virtual mode.
The pre-conference CME on 2nd October 2021 has been organized as a tribute to the legendary teacher,
pathologist and laboratory consultant Late Prof (Dr) Subir Kumar Du�a. The theme of this year's CME is Salivary
Gland pathology and will give the delegates an opportunity to gain insights from the vast experience of our
na�onal and interna�onal speakers.
The XIVth Annual State Cytology Conference, 2021 on 3rd October will highlight the pres�gious Brigadier M M Roy
Memorial Ora�on, potpourri of interes�ng cytology cases and a vibrant collec�on of award and proffered papers
as well as e-posters.
We assure you a grand academic fiesta and look forward to your whole-hearted support, co-opera�on, and
ac�ve par�cipa�on.

Cytomorphological approach to salivary gland lesions
In recent �mes medical science professionals have been increasingly using the concept of “algorithms” to refine their approaches towards solving complex diagnos�c problems. The one which I intend to present does so by peeling out cellular en��es which we encounter while evalua�ng fine needle aspirates of salivary gland lesions. However before placing the first slide on the stage, it is essen�al to have a clear idea about the epidemiological data, the salivary gland from where the material has been aspirated and the imaging findings. Salivary glands as we know are located at a very busy traffic intersec�on jammed by many non-salivary structures. My approach involves grouping lesions based upon the conspicuousness of inflammatory cell elements, the solid/ cys�c nature of the lesion, the conspicuousness of myoepithelial derived stroma and the nucleo-cytoplasmic ra�o of the lesional cells. Of course there are lots of overlaps, promiscui�es and other oddi�es which occasionally throw such algorithm out of the window. So while it is important to have a plan, it is pragma�c to be flexible. Once in a while ancillary methods like immunohistochemistry, flowcytometry and molecular pathology can extract us out of s�cky situa�ons. It is also incredibly essen�al to accomodate the ever-growing list newly described en��es and to be aware of the management implica�ons of our reports. Thankfully the Standardized repor�ng protocols, like the Milan system integrates the challenges faced by the morphologist with the brass tacks of “Risk of malignancy”, associated with our sign outs.
Brief Resume
Name – Dr. Anchal Kakkar, MD, Pathology
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland masses has high sensitivity and specicity, with
the added benets of safety and cost- effectiveness. It reliably distinguishes between inammatory and
neoplastic, and benign and malignant lesions, thus aiding in clinical decision making.
In recent years, the high accessibility to molecular genetic analysis accompanied by expanded
immunohistochemical panels has led to a renement in nomenclature of salivary gland neoplasms, as
well as led to the recognition of new tumor entities. Due to their rarity of these recently described entities,
and the marked heterogeneity in cytomorphology inherent to most salivary gland neoplasms, their
cytological diagnosis often presents signicant challenges. However, knowledge of histological
characteristics and identication of their cytological correlates, supported by ancillary techniques, can
assist in arriving at an accurate diagnosis.

The ne needle aspiration of salivary gland is challenging due to the diverse and numerous neoplasms that can arise
within the gland. While some of these entities can be denitely diagnosed on FNA cytomorphology, many entities
require complete histologic examination for denitive characterization. Thus, it is important for the pathologist to utilize
a reliable framework while assessing these specimens. While experienced pathologists may have developed their own
frameworks to assess these lesions, a standardized nomenclature and approach were not available until the release of
The Milan System (TMS) for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology in 2018. TMS uses a pattern-based approach that
makes the classication of salivary gland lesions seen on FNA much more accessible. TMS provides examples of entities
that can be denitively diagnosed on FNA cytopathology, but, perhaps most importantly, introduces an approach that
can minimize the many pitfalls in salivary gland cytopathology. This session introduces TMS and highlights its important
points to the audience.

My Experience of more than Three decadesAggressive GCT of Bone -Topic -
Aggressive GCT of Bone- My experience of more than three decades Dr. Asitava Mondal MD ( PGIMER, Chandigarh) Clinical Cytologist and Oncopatholgist, Kolkata. Correct diagnosis of any bone tumour depends on a team approach of orthopaedic surgeon, radiologist and cytologist/ histopathologist. Aggressive GCT of bone cannot be diagnosed confidently without proper imaging modality like CT scan or MRI. According to widely accepted grading and staging system by Lichtenstein, Campanacci and Enneking, GCT is classified into Grade/ Stage 1 ( Latent/ Quiescent), 2 ( Active Intraosseous ) and 3 ( Aggressive Extraosseous). These grading and staging were done according to radiological findings. No detail cytological or histopathological findings were described according to the above grades of GCT of bone on which treatment and prognosis depend. Correct diagnosis of GCT in active intraosseous stage without breakdown of bony cortex is most crucial where treatment can be conservative surgery. Once the tumour breaks the outer cortex and becomes extraosseous and aggressive, treatment becomes extremely difficult and may need en bloc resection. The cytomorphology is very characteristics in all these three grades/stages of GCT. Equal importance is given to the stromal cells and osteoclastic giant cells to assess the activity of this bone tumour. Attention was given only to the nature of stromal cells. But detailed study highlighted the importance of osteoclastic giant cells in assessing the aggressiveness of the tumour. The treatment of GCT has revolutionized in recent times. Previous treatments were only curretage with bone graft and enbloc resection. At present multifaceted treatments are curretage with PMMC cementation, Zoledronic acid, Bisphosphonate therapy, Neoadjuvant therapy with Denosumab with or without embolization, Simvastatin and recent advancement with other targets including mutant protein H3.3-G34W. Whatever may be the advancement of therapy, the best result is obtained when diagnosis is made in Active Intraosseous stage without destruction of bony cortex . Once the tumour becomes Aggressive Extraosseous, en bloc resection becomes almost mandatory due to repeated recurrences. Radiation therapy should be avoided as far as possible. Secondary malignant GCT with sarcomatous changes occur after radiation therapy and repeated recurrences. Primary malignant GCT is extremely rare. In conclusion the basic pathophysiology of GCT lies in the recent nomenclature of this bone tumour as " Osteoclastogenic Stromal Cell Tumour of Mesenchymal Origin".

An evaluation of FNAC of breast lesions with histopathological correlation among
patients presenting in a tertiary care hospital with special reference to Modified
Masood’s scoring index
ABSTRACT
CONTEXT & BACKGROUND
Cytological grading of breast lesion, which is a simple, cost-effective, and reproducible
method, can be used as a tool for the selection of treatment modality. The proposed
Modified Masood’s scoring index establishes one guideline for reporting of breast cytology
and thus helps in individualized treatment and follow-up.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of this study were to (1) establish the validity and reliability of the
Modified Masood’s scoring index in breast lesions and (2) to calculate the malignancy risk.
MATERIALS & METHODS
This prospective & observational study was designed in clinically diagnosed breast lesions
at the Department of Pathology of a tertiary care referral hospital. Fine-needle aspiration
(FNA) was done, and stained smears were examined under light microscope and cytological
findings were noted according to the Modified Masood’s scoring index. Tissue for the
histopathological study was obtained in 80 cases. The previous cytological findings were
compared to subsequent histopathology report.
RESULTS
Among 80 FNAs, 46% were Non proliferative breast disease and 7% were Proliferative
breast disease without atypia. About 3% was grouped in the Proliferative breast disease
with atypia, 44% of cases were categorized as Carcinoma in situ/ Invasive carcinoma.
CONCLUSION
The four-tier diagnostic categories of the Modified Masood Scoring System help in
segregating patients with breast lesions into the management categories of follow-up,
conservative surgery, and radical surgery with/without chemotherapy.

Introduction:
Cystoscopy, though remained as gold-standard for diagnosis and evaluation of urothelial
neoplasms, invasiveness and poor follow up potential of the procedure led to widespread
usage of urinary cytology as a screening tool. Conventional cytology (CC) is a proven
method for detection of urothelial neoplasms, but newer liquid based cytology (LBC) is
gaining popularity because of clear background and monolayering of cells. The present
study compared the LBC (SurePath) and CC in the diagnosis of urothelial neoplasms,
applying The Paris System (TPS) for reporting.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 150 patients with bladder tumour (June 2017-December 2018) were enrolled. Pre-
operative CC and LBC were processed from freshly voided urine samples. The individual
categories of TPS were compared for CC and LBC samples and correlated with histology.
Results:
No significant differences were observed in sensitivity and specificity between the 2
methods in cases with positive cytology for carcinoma. LBC and CC (specificity 96.7% vs
91.8%) were highly specific for detection of bladder carcinoma, but lacked sensitivity (LBC
56.6% vs CC 57.8%). According to TPS, suspicious for HGUC cases of both CC and LBC
smears correlated with positive findings of carcinoma in most cases (CC positive predictive
value [PPV] of 94.7% vs LBC PPV 95.6%).
Conclusion:
The present study concludes that LBC does not offer a better detection of malignant cells in
the urine than CC, but improved cell yield, cell-preservation and reduced artifacts in LBC
aid in better understanding of cellular morphology.

Abstract
Fine-needle aspiration(FNA) of the kidney has a traditionally well-defined role in the
diagnosis and treatment of renal lesions. Recent improvements in renal imaging techniques
have also brought renal FNA to the forefront, since Small and asymptomatic renal masses
are increasingly being detected. Before the physician institutes a treatment plan, such
lesions usually require a definitive diagnosis that is best provided by FNA. The cytological
features are given priority compared to the histological growth forms for classification of
renal cell tumors. However, the latter are not to be neglected in the overall evaluation of a
tumor.
Objective - To know the profile of Kidney tumor by Needle aspiration Cytology.
Materials & Methods - All renal FNAs performed during a 2 year interval were retrieved.
Indication for the procedure was determined from the clinical notes and radiology reports.
Results - Out of 10 adult patients, 9 were cases of Renal cell carcinoma(RCC) and one was
transitional Cell Carcinoma(TCC). Among 9 cases of RCC, 4 were of Clear Cell RCC
(CCRCC),3 were of Papillary RCC(PapRCC) and 2 were of Chromophobe RCC(ChRCC).
Among 10 Patients, 7 were măle and 3 were female. Out of 10 paediatric patients, there
were 9 cases of Wilms’ tumor and 1 case of Neuroblastoma. Among 9 cases of Wilms’ tumor,
7 were male and 2 were female and the patient of Neuroblastoma was male.
Conclusion - Fine needle aspiration cytology is a safe and useful diagnostic tool in case of
Renal tumors.
Keywords - Fine needle aspiration Cytology, imaging techniques, radiology, renal,

Introduction : Fine-needle aspiration cytology is most practiced initial method for
evaluation of breast lesions. The International Academy of Cytology Yokohama System for
Reporting Breast fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy Cytopathology (IAC YSRB) is developed to
standardize the reporting system. Aim of this study is to establish the inter-observer
reproducibility of this system in diagnosing breast lesions. Method: Over a period of 1 year,
seventy consecutive specimens obtained from fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from
breast lesions, were independently evaluated by 3 experienced cytopathologists, who
allotted 1 to 5 IAC YSRB categories for each case. Percent overall agreement was calculated
by using Fleiss’ Kappa. Result: Percent overall agreement between observers was 70.48%
and free marginal kappa was 0.63. After combining category 4(Suspicious) and category 5
(Malignant) overall agreements was 80.95% and free marginal kappa was 0.75.
Conclusions: Inter-observer agreement of 3 cytopathologists was good (70.48%).
Agreement can improve if we combine certain categories, especially “Suspicious” and
“Malignant”. Limitation of sampling technique plays a significant role in diagnosing
“Atypical’ and “Suspicious” cases. However, inter-observer variability can be improved if we
make it a practice to follow the IAC YSRB criteria meticulously in day to day practice.needle aspiration, breast cytology.

Abstract .
Background : Gliomas are most common primary CNS neoplasm in adult population.
Gliomas are predominantly arise from brain parenchyma, invasion of adjacent normal
parenchyma is a prominent feature.
Aims and objectives : The study was undertaken to study the epidemiological incidence of
glial tumors and the viability and accuracy of intraoperative cytology in diagnosis and
grading glial tumors in a tertiary care center.
Materials and methods : A prospective study was done on 30 patients who underwent
excision surgery at department of neurosurgery. Intraoperative imprint touch cytology of
the specimens were done. Part of the tissue were kept for FFPE and subsequent
histopathological examination were done. Results of intraoperative imprint cytology were
compared with final histopathology report and grading.
Result: Most of the patients presented with frontal lobe lesion. Out of 30 cases 29 were
histologically confirmed to be of glial origin. These 29 cases were diagnosed as different
glial neoplasm on intraoperative imprint cytology and was confirmed by histology.
According to histological subtype 52% were glioblastoma, 34% were diffuse astrocytoma,
10%were pilocytic astrocytoma, 4% was ependymoma. Intraoperative impression cytology
diagnosis was compared with confirmatory histological diagnosis. Sensitivity and septicity
was found to be 93% and50% respectively, PPV 96%, NPV33%, diagnostic accuracy 86%
and P<0.5 was statistically significant.
Conclusion: Here in this study, we see a good correlation between imprint cytology and
confirmatory histopathology report. Hence, we conclude intraoperative imprint cytology is a
fairly accurate, rapid and inexpensive method of diagnosis and grading of gliomas.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cutaneous metastases can occur in a wide variety of internal malignancies
and may be the first indication of an underlying malignancy or recurrence in a patient with
a known primary and in rare instances can arise from a second primary. AIM : This study is
designed to analyze cases of cutaneous metastasis from a known or unknown primary and
evaluate usefulness of fine needle aspiration cytology as a diagnostic modality. Materials
and methods: This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital. We studied
the cases according to their age, sex, the clinical presentations, site, the treatment provided
and the cytopathological findings. Results : This study comprises of eight cases of cutaneous
metastatic deposits from various primary visceral malignancies at different sites-scalp,
anterior abdominal wall, chest with varied presentations. The patients have undergone
treatment and were referred to surgery and radiotherapy department for further
management. Conclusion : Cutaneous metastasis is a manifestation of the disease due to
either hematogenous or lymphatic spread. This study also reiterates that fine needle
aspiration biopsy is a very helpful and cost-effective modality in determining the nature of
such lesions. So, the study of their clinical profile and cytopathological findings paves way
for early diagnosis of primary lesion or recurrence and better management.

A study of correlation between Bronchoalveolar lavage and Bronchial brush
cytology in evaluation of suspected cases of lung carcinoma.
Introduction : Lung carcinoma has a wide incidence and prevalence in both genders,
including primary and secondary carcinoma due to metastasis. It is one of the most common
cause of mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Cytopathology being fast and less
invasive plays an important role in early evaluation and subsequent patient management,
especially when lesions are peripheral, small or non visualized on bronchoscopy and hence
biopsy for histopathology cannot be done.
Methods and Result : Broncholveolar lavage(BAL) collected as normal saline suspension in
sterile container is centrifuged and smears prepared. Same patients Brush cytology dried
and wet fixed smears of two to three brushings are taken. Both specimens are stained by
Papanicaloau stain and Leishman’s stain. The slides are evaluated and results analyzed to
evaluate the correlation between the said parameters including age and gender using
appropriate statistical software.
Conclusion : There is a positive correlation between BAL, Brush cytology combined all
together so as to early effective evaluation of most lung lesions especially which are
difficult to visualize on bronchoscopy due to small size, vision blockade and peripheral
lesions.

Abstract :
Introduction : Rhabdoid tumor of kidney is a rare ‘aggressive malignancy’ and most
malignant renal neoplasm of childhood, most of which occur before the age of 2 years. The
death rate is over 75% and patients usually die within 12 months of diagnosis. High tumor
stage and male sex are unfavourable prognostic signs. We report a rare case of rhabdoid
tumor metastases in a supraclavicular mass in a 53 year male and discuss the FNAC
findings.
Case report: 53-year male presented with a supraclavicular mass (2x1.5 cm) which was
firm, mobile, non-tender.
The patient was a known case of ‘Rhabdoid tumor of Left kidney’(Post nephrectomy)
FNAC aspirate stained smears showed presence of loose clusters of atypical cells with
rhabdoid morphology. The cells were highly pleomorphic with round to oval eccentric
nucleus, nucleomegaly, high NC ratio, vesicular chromatin and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Few
large, bizzare cells and occasional binucleate cells were also noted. Occasional mitosis was
seen. No lymphoid elements or lymphoglandular bodies noted.
Cytomorphological features were suggestive of ‘Metastasis of a carcinoma (In a known case
of Rhabdoid tumor of Left Kidney).
CONCLUSION : Rhabdoid tumor is a widely metastasizing tumor with grave prognosis. The
case has been reported due to unusual clinical presentation and characteristic cytological
features.
ETHICS : This case report has been completely anonymized not to cause harm or prejudice
to the patient or patient’s family

Introduction
Eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) is stated when 10 percent or more eosinophils with in a
differential count of white cells is present in pleural fluid .The incidence of EPE is 5 percent
to 16 percent of all pleural effusion. The causes of EPEs include malignancy, tuberculosis,
parapneumonic effusion, parasite infection, connective tissue diseases,post trauma and
idiopathic. But the diagnostic significance of EPE remains unclear.
The aim of the study was to find out whether EPE is reliable predictor of malignancy.
Case Presentation
A 34 year old male patient presented with right sided chest pain since one month .There
was past history of pulmonary tuberculosis and completed ATD course 10 years back.Right
sided pleural effusion was found on chest x ray. Hematological and investigations for
infection including tuberculosis were done.The pleural fluid analysis showed exudative in
nature and cytological examination revealed Eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE).The case
was evaluated by clinical ,radiological and cytological aspect.
Conclusion
Though EPE is uncommon, malignancy could be narrowed upon as a cause based on EPE
findings in our study .However, further studies may provide additional and alternative
perspective.

ABSTRACT
3 cases of thyroid swelling are presenting here. FNAC done and interpretation of smear
following Bethesda criteria are presented here. Bethesda category 3,4,5 and their
overlapping criteria has been shown in these cases.
Case 1: 47 years old female presented with ill defined nodule in right lobe of thyroid.
Impression on FNAC: Bethesda category 3.
Case 2: 39 years old female presented with well defined nodule in left lobe of thyroid.
Impression on FNAC: Bethesda category 4.
Case 3: 49 years old female presented with ill defined thyroid nodule in left lobe of thyroid.
Impression on FNAC: Bethesda category 5.
Conclusion: Even after application of Bethesda criteria category 3,4,5 may produce some
confusions and inter examiner variation due to some overlapping criteria. Therefore repeat
aspiration and/or biopsy is often helpful for correct interpretation.

Respected Sir and Madam,
We presented a case of 40 years old male who came to SSKM hospital OPD with an
abdominal discomfort and swelling for last 2 months on 02/03/2021. On USG, enlarged
retroperitoneal lymph nodes were identified. USG guided FNAC was done and the stained
smears showed cell rich aspirate with plenty of clusters of atypical cells with high N:C ratio
floating in pools of mucin. Few signet ring shaped cells identified in the smear. Overall
cytological features are suggestive of Metastatic Lesion (Mucinous primary).
An exploratory laparotomy was suggested and subsequently a mass was identified in the
ascending colon. The microscopic section shows a tumor mass composed of neoplastic cells
floating in pools of mucin and few signet ring cells with large cytoplasmic vacuolation. The
overall features were suggestive of MUCINOUS CARCINOMA of ascending colon.
Immunohistochemistry was done and HER2/neu shows negative expression. Surgery was
done in the patient stage was pT3N2Mx. Chemotherapy was given followed by radiotherapy.

Title: Validation of Artificial Intelligence Software for cervical screening
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and
second most common in developing nations like India. Seeing the population strata, it
affects approximately 12,000 women per year. The examination of Papanicolaou (Pap)
smears is an efficient technique for diagnosing cervical pre-malignant and malignant
diseases. Deep learning methods are being devised with softwares being developed for
screening for cervical cancer. We aimed to test the accuracy of this software with the
manual interpretation of pap smears.
Methods: The study included 100 women between the ages of 25-65 years reporting to the
gynae OPD and whose pap smear test was performed for various conditions. The results
showed predominantly inflammatory lesion without intraepithelial malignant lesion followed
by bacterial vaginosis, atrophic smear, atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance
and low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. The results of the liquid-based cytology and
pap smear slides were compared with the artificial intelligence software.
Conclusion: The software can be used to screen the pap smears and may reduce the time
taken for screening of pap smears.

Abstract
Introduction: SARS- CoV2 or COVID 19 as we have come to know it commonly is affecting
thousands of people in our country and the world since early 2020. The changes that occur
in Covid-19 involve single or multiple organs. The primary target of the disease remains the
lung. COVID 19 pneumonia is a highly infectious disease and is life threatening to patients
with comorbidities. Pleural effusion is not a very common complication in COVID -19
pneumonia. There have been only a few documented studies as to the characteristic findings
of pleural effusion in COVID-19 Pneumonia.
Method and Results : In this present study we studied the pleural fluid cytology findings
of 15 cases of COVID-19 pneumonia presenting with pleural effusion since July 2020 to Aug
2021. These cases on most occasions had radiological findings related to COVID-19
pneumonia. Subsequently the patients developed pleural effusion as a complication. We
studied the pleural fluid cytology and found a predominantly transudative effusion with
predominance of lymphocytes and lympho-histiocytic proliferation with hemophagocytosis.
Severe Covid-19 pneumonia complicated by bacterial infection showed features of exudative
effusion. These findings were compared with the hospital stay and final outcome in patients
and found to have a positive correlation.
Conclusion : To conclude it can be stated that pleural fluid cytology findings in Covid 19
need to be considered to detect complications and prognosis of Covid-19. Thus, it may be
stated that even though not a very common complication pleural fluid cytology has a role in
patient care in the ongoing scenario.

ABSTRACT
Background: The Bethesda system for reporting thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC)
established a standardized reporting system with a limited number of diagnostic categories
for thyroid fine-needle aspiration specimens. Using TBSRTC, cytopathologist can
communicate their diagnosis to the referring clinician in terms that are clinically useful.
Aims: Objective of this study was to classify thyroid FNAC according to TBSRTC .
Material and Methods: A 3 years retrospective study of thyroid lesion cases were
classified in to six categories of TBSRTC and their distribution in each category was
calculated.
Results: A total 147 cases of thyroid lesion were taken for study. Thyroid lesions were
classified according to TBSRTC as Non diagnostic (ND), benign, atypical follicular lesion of
undetermined significance (AFLUS), follicular neoplasm (FN), suspicious of malignancy
(SM) and malignancy and result will be discussed later.
Conclusion: Use of TBSRTC for thyroid cytopathology reporting helps to improve
comunication between cytopathologist and clinicians along with interlaboratory agreement
for results leading to most effective manangment.
*I want to encourage use of Bethesda system for reporting thyroid lesion because of less
likely to be used at most of institute inspite of its simplicity and usefulness.
