Fine needle aspiration cytology is the most accurate tool for diagnosing thyroid nodules. Its accuracy is related to the rate of inadequate samples, which can be minimized with the adoption of on-site assessment of the adequacy of the material. The introduction of liquid-based cytology (LBC) in the thyroid does not allow checking on the adequacy of the cellularity. The possibility of making a second LBC slide for decreasing the number of non-diagnostic cases is studied.

Abstract

Fine needle aspiration cytology is the most accurate tool for diagnosing thyroid nodules. Its accuracy is related to the rate of inadequate samples, which can be minimized with the adoption of on-site assessment of the adequacy of the material. The introduction of liquid-based cytology (LBC) in the thyroid does not allow checking on the adequacy of the cellularity. The possibility of making a second LBC slide for decreasing the number of non-diagnostic cases is studied.
