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.
All FNAs of breast lesions over 2.5 years were categorized retrospectively using the newly proposed IAC Yokohama reporting system. The ROM was calculated along with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, diagnostic accuracy, false positive, and false-negative rate using the histological diagnosis as the gold standard.
The 512 cases were distributed as follows: Category I (insufficient material) 7.4%, Category II (benign) 74%, Category III (atypical) 5.7%, Category IV(suspicious) 1.4%, and Category V (malignant) 11.5%. Histopathological correlation was available in 285 (55.7%) cases. The respective ROM calculated was 33.3%, 0.5%, 13.3%, 83.3%, and 100% for Category I-V. The Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative Predictive Value, and Diagnostic accuracy were 95%, 99.5%, 98.27%, 98.6, and 98.5% respectively.
Despite previous attempts to establish a standardized diagnostic terminology, there has been a lack of a single internationally approved standardized reporting system allowing substantial diagnostic clarity and incorporating distinct diagnostic categories, each linked with a specific ROM and recommended management. This System also provides enhanced communication between pathologists and attending clinicians for the benefit of the patient.
最近国际细胞学学会(IAC)引入了一种新的乳腺细针抽吸细胞学报告系统,将细胞学诊断分为五类:(I)标本不足,(II)良性,(III)非典型,(IV)疑似恶性,和(V)恶性。本研究旨在利用新提出的 IAC 横滨分类系统对乳腺病变进行分类,并评估各分类的恶性风险(ROM)和该技术的诊断率。
对 2.5 年以上的所有乳腺细针抽吸标本进行回顾性分类,采用新提出的 IAC 横滨报告系统。以组织学诊断为金标准,计算 ROM 以及敏感性、特异性、阳性和阴性预测值、诊断准确性、假阳性和假阴性率。
512 例病例分布如下:I 类(标本不足)7.4%,II 类(良性)74%,III 类(非典型)5.7%,IV 类(可疑)1.4%,V 类(恶性)11.5%。有 285 例(55.7%)病例有组织学相关性。计算出的相应 ROM 分别为 I-V 类的 33.3%、0.5%、13.3%、83.3%和 100%。敏感性、特异性、阳性和阴性预测值、诊断准确性分别为 95%、99.5%、98.27%、98.6%和 98.5%。
尽管之前曾试图建立标准化的诊断术语,但缺乏单一的国际认可的标准化报告系统,无法提供明确的诊断,并包含不同的诊断类别,每个类别都与特定的 ROM 和推荐的管理方法相关联。该系统还为病理学家和主治临床医生之间提供了更好的沟通,以造福患者。
