In this retrospective study, we reviewed our institutional experience in using parathyroid hormone (PTH) immunocytochemistry (ICC) to substantiate the diagnosis of PTT on fine needle aspiration (FNA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our pathology database was searched for FNA cases in which PTH ICC was performed between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2022. PTH ICC was performed on a ThinPrep slide in cases with a clinical suspicion of PTT or with cytomorphological features raising the possibility of PTT. Patients' clinicopathological characteristics, PTH ICC results, cytological diagnoses, and surgical follow\u2010ups, if available, were reviewed and analysed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study cohort included 103 cases clinically designated as thyroid (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200985, 82.5%), parathyroid (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911, 10.7%) and neck soft tissue (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20097, 6.8%). PTH immunostaining was negative, positive, and indeterminate in 53 (51.5%), 27 (26.2%), and 23 (22.3%) cases, respectively. Surgical follow\u2010up was available in 27 (26.2%) cases, including 17 thyroid lesions and 10 PTT cases. All positive PTH cases were confirmed to be PTT, while all but one of the negative PTH cases were non\u2010PTT on follow\u2010up. The calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 85.7%, 100%, 100% and 93.3%, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study demonstrates that PTH ICC performed on additional ThinPrep slides is a valuable adjunct test in FNA samples with a differential diagnosis of PTT vs non\u2010PTT. Low cellularity may be a limiting factor in the accurate assessment of PTH by ICC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cyt.13283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]],"date-time":"2023-08-03T11:45:48Z","timestamp":1691063148000},"page":"597-602","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Utility
