متن کاملImaging-Cytology Correlation of Thyroid Nodules with Initially Benign Cytology
Objective. To determine the role of imaging-cytology correlation in reducing false negative results of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) at thyroid nodules. Methods. This retrospective study included 667 nodules 1 cm or larger in 649 patients diagnosed as benign at initial cytologic evaluation and that underwent follow-up ultrasound (US) or FNA following a radiologist's opinion on concordance betwee...
متن کاملFalse-negatives in thyroid nodule aspiration cytology.
To the Editor—We congratulate Cheung et al1 for providing local data on the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of non-toxic thyroid nodules. In 2003, we retrospectively analysed the results of 192 FNAC of thyroid nodules performed in Queen Elizabeth Hospital between January and June 2001. Forty-three of those patients underwent thyroidectomy and a comparison of the histopatholog...
