The MSRSGC aims to improve patient care by providing better communication between clinicians and institutions.

Histology confirmed the diagnosis with 100% cytohistological concordance in all four cases.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>FNAC is an effective tool for the detection of SPEN, allowing precise diagnosis, guiding surgery, and reducing the need for extensive resection.</p>","PeriodicalId":50217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cytology","volume":"42 3","pages":"170-174"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12435871/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
