Pancreaticobiliary tract cytology: Journey toward "Bethesda" style guidelines from the Papanicolaou Society of Cytopathology

Abstract

The entities included in this category range from innocuous lesions such as benign cystic neoplasms (serous cystadenoma) to others like pre-malignant mucinous cysts (cystic mucinous neoplasm and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm), low-grade well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasms. The current CytoJournal supplement issue with individual articles [10],[11],[12],[13],[14] covering various areas highlighted above would be a great resource under Open access platform [20],[21] for all involved in the management of pancreaticobiliary lesions.These PSC guideline articles published under Open Access charter may be disseminated by multiple journals/platforms [22],[23],[24],[25],[26] including e-CytoJournal issue http://www.cytojournal.com/browse.asp?sabs=n. [27] ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors would like to thank Drs. Nora K. Frisch and Yasin Ahmed (cytopathology fellows at Wayne State University School of Medicine/Detroit Medical Center) for their editorial and copy-editing assistance.
