Four hundred ninety three FNA cytologies of 295 patients were performed. Twenty of 20 class V patients (100%), 34 of 35 class IV patients (97%) and 22 of 25 class III patients (88%) were correctly diagnosed. Three cancers and 9 adenomas were found in class I and II patients (total 144 cases), and as a results of review of the preparations, it became obvious that 5 of 12 cases were missdiagnosis. The authors believe that well trained surgical pathologists can become proficient in interpreting the FNA cytologies without significant loss in accuracy, and accordingly, the authors recommend FNA of the thyroid as the initial diagnostic test in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. In our laboratory, obtained materials are suspended in physiological saltwater and after hemolysis, cells were fixed on slides glass using autosmear. This method is good for making diagnostic preparations.}, pages = {381--386}, title = {5) 甲状腺癌の細胞診(シンポジウム 甲状腺疾患の臨床, 第469回新潟医学会)}, volume = {106}, year = {1992} }
