Immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair protein deficiency in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma yields equivalent results when performed on endometrial biopsy/curettage or hysterectomy specimens.

Objective: Universal screening of endometrial cancer (EC) for Lynch syndrome (LS) has been increasingly implemented in the past five to ten years. Most pathologists initiate screening with immunohistochemistry (IHC) for mismatch repair proteins (MMRPs), using either pre-surgical samplings (endometrial biopsy or curettage, EMB/C) or hysterectomy specimens. We report a systematic assessment of the equivalence of IHC for LS screening on EMB/C versus hysterectomy specimens.

Preoperative cytologic interpretation of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features: a 1-year multi-institutional experience.

Introduction: Encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has an indolent behavior; hence, a change in terminology to "noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP)" has been proposed. Data are scant on the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosis of nodules proven to be NIFTP upon resection. The aim was to evaluate the FNA diagnosis of nodules diagnosed as NIFTP upon resection.
