چکیده
Material Between years 2001 and 2012, a group of 26361 patients had thyroid lesions diagnosed by USG-FNAB. At least one carcinoma was diagnosed (including two metastases) in 343 patients. Surgical specimens (SS) revealed 419 malignancies, with 335 PTCs. A diameter of histologically measured PTCs ranged from 0.5 mm to 170mm, where those correctly diagnosed in USG-FNAB was between 3 and 170 mm. Number of false negative (FN) cases ranged from 0 to 16 each year.

متن کاملThe association of papillary thyroid cancer with microcalcification in thyroidnodules with indeterminate cytology based on fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
BACKGROUND/AIM Microcalcifications are generally accepted as highly specific for thyroid malignancy, especially for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study was to determine the significance of microcalcification within nodules that were classified as being of “indeterminate cytology” (IC) according to fine-needle aspiration biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients w...
