Abstract

Cytologists interpret cells differently when features overlap with malignancy. The distinction between suspicious for malignancy (SFM) and malignant (MAL) depends on confidence in morphological and ancillary test findings, available clinical data and the experience of the reporting pathologist. This chapter provides an approach to this category with the option to issue a preliminary report of suspicious for malignancy (SFM) pending additional studies.
