Anatomic Pathology / INTEROBSERVER VARIABILITY IN THYROID FNA INTERPRETATION Interobserver Variability in Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Interpretation of Lesions Showing Predominantly Colloid and Follicular Groups
We studied interobserver variability in the assessment of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA). We limited our cases to those showing predominantly colloid and follicular cell groups. Twenty cases of thyroid FNA diagnosed by 1 experienced cytopathologist were reviewed by 4 other cytopathologists who made their own diagnoses while unaware of the original diagnoses. Two cytopathologists then asse...
متن کاملFine 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. A modified technique fine needle capillary sampling (FNCS) obviates the need of suction, is less painful, patient friendly and reported to overcome the problem of inadequate and bloody specimens. The aim of our study was to compare the...
متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Intraocular, Orbital and Eyelid Lesions
Background: Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is used for diagnosis of intraocular, orbital and eyelid lesions. In this study we evaluated the outcome and the accuracy of using this technique in diagnosis of benign or malignant behavior of lesions. Methods: FNAC was performed on 26 specimens obtained from 25 patients with intraocular, orbital and eyelid tumors and the results were compared...
متن کاملDiagnostic Importance of Fine Needle Non-aspiration and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Thyroid Lesions
Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the routine, minimal invasive technique, and well-established baseline investigation used to diagnose the nodular thyroid lesion. The main disadvantages were an inadequate specimen or the specimen obtained was blood. To avoid these problems, a new method called as fine needle non-aspiration cytology is performed nowadays instead of FNAC. A...
متن کاملFlower-like colloid on thyroid fine needle aspiration.
Dear Dr. Bedrossian: Recognizing colloid is an essential part of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) interpretation as the quantity of colloid and the numbers follicular cell are very good indicators of the nature of the lesion. Here, we reported a unique colloid morphology observed in FNA specimen from a 47-year-old female patient with a history of breast cancer and long standing thyroid nodu...
