Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is a robust diagnostic technique often used for tissue diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. For interpretation of FNA cytology, cell block immunohistochemistry (IHC) and clinicocytologic parameters are indispensable. In this review of a large cohort, the current report: 1) describes clinicocytologic parameters and immunoprofiles of aspirates of metastatic carcinoma, 2) compares the predictivity of immunostains and classical approaches for IHC interpretation, and 3) describes machine learning‐based algorithms for IHC interpretation.
