Cytological specimens play a pivotal role in head and neck nodule/mass work up and diagnoses. The specimens´ importance has grown with the onset of personalized medicine and the routine use of molecular markers in the diagnostic work up. The Updates in Head and Neck Cytopathology Short Course ran during the 35th European Congress of Pathology held in Dublin, Ireland, in 2023 and brought together experts in cytopathology, pathology, and related fields to share their expertise and experience in the field of head and neck cytopathology and its future directions. Topics such as a one-stop clinic, the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology, next generation sequencing, and human papilloma virus detection in the head and neck area were covered during the short course. These topics are briefly summarized in the present review.
细胞学标本在头颈部结节/肿块的检查和诊断中起着关键作用。随着个体化医学的出现以及分子标志物在诊断工作中的常规应用，标本的重要性日益增加。2023 年在爱尔兰都柏林举行的第 35 届欧洲病理学大会期间举办了头颈部细胞病理学更新短期课程，汇集了细胞病理学、病理学和相关领域的专家，分享他们在头颈部细胞病理学领域的专业知识和经验及其未来方向。该短期课程涵盖了一个一站式诊所、米兰唾液腺细胞病理学报告系统、下一代测序以及头颈部人乳头瘤病毒检测等主题。本综述简要总结了这些主题。
