Reproducibility of atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance category using the bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytology when reviewing slides from different institutions: A study of interobserver variability

abstract：:Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is a highly recurrent benign tumor of the extremities. Wide local excision is usually sufficient to achieve its recurrence-free outcome. However, that needs a confident pre-operative cytological diagnosis as TSGCT. Aspirates from this tumor express the characteristic polymorphic c...
