PLAG1 and HMGA2 gene rearrangements
MAML2 gene rearrangement Mostly t(11;19)(q21;p13)
Pleomorphic adenoma most common
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, most common
Secretory Carcinoma (MASC); increasing

Recommended subclassification of the atypia: (i) Cytologic atypia: Focal nuclear changes, extensive but mild nuclear changes, atypical cyst lining cells (ii) Architectural atypia: comprised mostly
(iii) Cytologic and architectural atypia. (iv) Hurthle cell AUS/FLUS: Sparsely cellular but exclusively Hurthle cell;
composed exclusively (or almost exclusively)
suggests a benign Hurthle cell nodule, such as in chronic lymphocytic (Hashimoto) thyroiditis or a multinodular goiter (v) Atypia, not otherwise specified

“28% of AUS/FLUS lesions and 58% of suggestive of follicular or Hurthle cell neoplasm are malignant”

Thyroid most common FNA sample in
Thyroid nodules harbor higher risk of
Atypia of undetermined significance TBRS
Pediatric cytopathology, especially FNA is evolving field,
efficient, and quick
Achievement of its full potential? Not yet.. Adequacy, experience, child maturity level and need for
sedation, availability of cores, need for COG protocols
Understanding limitation for this diagnostic tool is
essential for both pathologists and clinicians
Cytpathology experience is important in pediatric practice;
especially with the age cut off change and stand alone children’s hospitals
