Background: Cervical cancer is the most common gynaecological cancer worldwide, causing morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries like Nigeria. It develops from premalignant lesions of the cervix. Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) increases the risk of dysplastic changes in the cervix.

Objective: Urinary cytology is a key diagnostic tool for evaluating suspected urinary tract carcinoma, primarily high-grade urothelial carcinoma. The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology (TPS), introduced in 2016, aimed to standardize reporting, though challenges with subjectivity and variability in diagnosing Atypical Urothelial Cells (AUCs) persist.
Methods: This retrospective study explored the correlation between cytomorphological features in "atypical" diagnosis and UroVysion fluorescence hybridization (U-FISH) results.

Background: Cervical cytology screening and colposcopy play crucial roles in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer prevention. Previous studies have provided evidence that artificial intelligence (AI) has remarkable diagnostic accuracy in these procedures. With this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to examine the pooled accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of AI-assisted cervical cytology screening and colposcopy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer screening.

Serous cystadenoma (SCA) of the pancreas is a benign nonmucinous cystic pancreatic neoplasm and the second most common type of pancreatic cystic neoplasm. Conservative management is advocated in asymptomatic cases as they have indolent clinical behavior and risk for postoperative morbidity, making an exact diagnosis essential. Morphologically, serous cystadenoma has a prominent subepithelial capillary meshwork causing the aspirate to be paucicellular and nondiagnostic.

While the latest WHO classification of hematological neoplasms helps refine the diagnostic criteria for anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL), their diagnosis can still be challenging. This retrospective series of 10 ALCL cases illustrates the cytological appearance and immunological profile obtained through flow cytometry (FCM) from various sample types, including lymph node biopsies (LN), peripheral blood (PB), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and pleural fluid (PF). ALCL exhibits a polymorphic cytological appearance, ranging from "doughnut" cells to Hodgkin-like cells, very large cells, and small cells, with this polymorphism being particularly pronounced in ALK (-) forms.
