Abstract

Fine needle aspiration cytology represents the most important tool in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, mostly in discriminating malignant from benign lesions. The diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may present some problems related to its deceptive morphologic picture. This diagnosis may be supported by immunocytochemistry (ICC), which may be difficult to carry out on the conventional smears.
