While cytopathology has successfully implemented standardized, risk\u2010stratified reporting systems across multiple organ systems, the reporting of small biopsies remains largely descriptive and non\u2010uniform. This discrepancy creates a critical gap in diagnostic communication, with potential implications for clinical decision\u2010making and patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review synthesizes current evidence and conceptual frameworks addressing the role of standardized reporting in pathology, drawing on the established success of cytology systems.

The review further explores the challenges associated with translating cytology\u2010based frameworks to histologic specimens, including differences in tissue architecture, risk of malignancy calibration and workflow integration. Despite these challenges, growing evidence supports the feasibility and clinical value of structured, integrated reporting approaches.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Standardization in pathology reporting is not merely a technical refinement but a fundamental requirement for effective communication in modern medicine.
