The correct sentence in the Results section reads as follows: The overall concordance for cytologic grading of MCT was nearly perfect (κ = 0.853) with an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 94.3%, 86.8%, and 97.1%, respectively. The correct sentence in the Discussion section reads as follows: Considering the 5 high-grade tumors in histology that were considered low grade on cytology (sensitivity 86.8%), there remains, however, a small risk of misclassification of high-grade MCT on cytology and shows the potential deficiency of applying a cytologic grading system. The correct sentences concerning mitotic figures read as follows: Thirteen of these cases were classified as high-grade on histology. Using histology and therefore nuclear anomaly cut-off criteria defined by Kiupel et al as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, and level of concordance for mitotic figures were 18.5%, 81.8%, with a slight agreement (j = 0.002), respectively. The correct sentence concerning multinucleated cells reads as follows: Six of these cases were considered high grade on histology. Reference 1Hergt F, von Bomhard W, Kent MS, Hirschberger J.
