Tumors of the thyroid gland: histologic and cytologic features--part 2.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumors of parafollicular cells and nonepithelial tumors occur less frequently than tumors derived from follicular cells. This review summarizes the histologic and cytologic features of these neoplasms and the nonneoplastic diseases that often have to be included in the differential diagnosis of thyroid tumors. Also, the role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy and frozen section interpretation in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules are discussed.

متن کاملCytologic Characteristics of Thymic Adenocarcinoma with Enteric Differentiation: A Study of Four Fine-Needle Aspiration Specimens
Thymic adenocarcinoma is extremely rare. Although its histologic features have been occasionally reported, a lack of description of the cytologic features has hampered the prompt and accurate diagnosis of this condition. Herein, we describe the cytologic findings and histology of four aspiration cytology specimens of thymic adenocarcinoma. The specimens were obtained from primary tumors, metast...
