OBJECTIVE: Frozen-section analysis of follicular lesions is often inconclusive because
capsular or vascular invasions are the hallmarks of malignancy with this technique and may …

We performed a retrospective analysis of follicular neoplasm data obtained from frozen
section examinations of thyroid nodules. A total of 5,660 patients underwent preoperative …

Objective Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) and frozen section (FS) have been widely reported
in the literature as having high sensitivity in the diagnosis of papillary carcinoma. With the …

BACKGROUND: Given the difference in surgical management between follicular neoplasms
and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), we sought to determine the sensitivity of fine-needle …

Abstract Objective/Hypothesis Fine‐needle aspiration biopsy is the most accurate diagnostic
test for thyroid nodules, its only limitation being the diagnosis of follicular neoplasm that …

The cytologic diagnosis of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) can be
extremely challenging and may be associated with false negative diagnoses. The purpose …

BACKGROUND Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid is of limited value in
discriminating between nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in approximately 5–29% of …

BACKGROUND The follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (FVPCT) is being
increasingly diagnosed on excised thyroid nodules. However, the fine‐needle aspiration …

Background: With the use of May-Grunwald-Giemsa staining, cytologic features of the
follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancers (FVPTCs) on thyroid fine-needle aspiration …

BACKGROUND As the consequence of the decreasing incidence of follicular thyroid
carcinoma (FC), one wonders whether cytopathologists should stop reporting follicular …
