Indeterminate cytologic diagnoses in endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNA) of solid pancreatic lesions include the diagnostic categories “atypical” (ATY) and “suspicious for malignancy” (SUSP), which are used at variable rates and are associated with variable underlying risk of malignancy. The aim of this study was to determine individual cytopathologists' rates of indeterminate diagnoses in EUS‐FNA of solid pancreatic lesions and their relationship to cytopathologists' experience and volume of pancreatic EUS‐FNA examined, as well as the potential impact of departmental consensus review on indeterminate diagnoses.
