Abstract
<p class="first" id="d4523532e85">Despite widespread clinical use, lymph node fine-needle
aspiration cytology (LN-FNAC)
lacks universal acceptance for definitively diagnosing lymphomas. This is likely due
to reports of lower diagnostic performance, inconsistent terminology use in cytopathology
diagnostic reports, and only limited data on the clinical implications of LN-FNAC
diagnoses. Recently, a uniform LN-FNAC cytopathological diagnostic reporting system
was proposed (the Sydney System). This study evaluated LN-FNAC diagnostic performance
and risks of malignancy associated with the proposed diagnostic categories.
