Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology versus Fine Needle Capillary Sampling in Cytological Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions
Background and Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an established out- patient procedure used in primary diagnosis of palpable thyroid lesions.

The limitations of the method, the dangers of false positive reports, and the inevitability of false negative diagnoses are emphasised. In a clinical context the meth...
متن کاملFine-Needle Aspiration Cytology
The multidisciplinary team dealing with patients with thyroid nodules must include a pathologist. The aim is to make the correct diagnosis as soon as possible after presentation, to prevent surgery where it is not required, and to allow treatment to be planned when malignancy is diagnosed. The first investigation should now be fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. With adequate specimens, the ...
