A retrospective analysis of 512 cases of breast fine needle aspiration cytology utilizing the recently proposed IAC Yokohama system for reporting breast cytopathology.

Background: Recently the International Academy of Cytology (IAC) introduced a new reporting system for breast fine-needle aspiration cytology that classifies cytologic diagnoses into five-categories: (I) insufficient material, (II) benign, (III) atypical, (IV) suspicious of malignancy, and (V) malignant. The current study was undertaken to categorize the breast lesions utilizing the newly proposed IAC Yokohama classification system and evaluate the risk of malignancy (ROM) for respective categories and the diagnostic yield of this technique.

Methods: All FNAs of breast lesions over 2.
