From: Cytologic predictors of malignancy in bile duct brushings: a multi-reviewer analysis of 60 cases
Using agreement by 2 of 3 cytopathologists as the initial gold standard 11 of 14 cytologic characteristics emerged as being statistically significantly more prevalent in malignant vs benign bile duct brushings, except for necrosis, abnormal mitoses and inflammation (red arrows) which showed no significant difference between benign and malignant cases.
