Thyroglobulin measurement in fine-needle aspiration biopsy of metastatic lymph nodes after rhTSH stimulation.
BACKGROUND Thyroglobulin measurement in the washout of the needle used in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) has been proposed for the early detection of lymph node metastasis both in patients with or without serum thyroglobulin antibodies; however, up to now, there have been no reports that recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) stimulation modifies thyroglobulin measurement in lymph node a...

متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration Biopsy of Lymph Nodes
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes using a 19 gauge needle and Luer Lok syringe was performed in 59 cases. This was compared with histological diagnosis and an accuracy of 93.2% was achieved. This method is simple and is highly acceptable among patients. It is a very useful technique where a biopsy of lymph node is not possible (JPMA 30:267, 1980).
متن کاملUtility of Thyroglobulin measurement in fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimens of lymph nodes in the diagnosis of recurrent thyroid carcinoma
INTRODUCTION The most common site for the metastasis of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (PTC) is regional lymph nodes. Ultrasound (US) imaging may identify abnormal appearing lymph nodes, suspicious for PTC recurrence. Although fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of abnormal lymph nodes is often diagnostic of recurrence, small or cystic lymph nodes may be non-diagnostic due to lack of tumor...
متن کاملLetter to the editor: Lymph nodes thyroglobulin measurement after rhTSH stimulation.
To the Editor: Cappelli and colleagues recently reported on 2 patients with lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and detectable serum thyroglobulin (Tg) autoantibodies (TgAb). Fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of such lymph node metastases were performed both before and after recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) stimulation, and Tg levels were measured in the needle washou...
