Adrenal gland cytology reporting: a multi-institutional proposal for a standardized reporting system.

The authors propose a 7-tier diagnostic scheme for adrenal gland cytology. The risk of malignancy was 98.9% in MAL cases (87/88) in the cohort. The only case with discordance was reported as "adrenal cortical adenoma with marked atypia"' on resection. There was no difference between endoscopic ultrasound-guided and percutaneous methods. Further studies are needed to validate and make this approach universal.
