We retrospectively evaluated the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in nonpalpable breast lesions detected by imaging techniques between 1995-1997. A total number of 308 lesions was investigated: 273 had been studied by means of either FNAC obtained under ultrasound (175 cases) or st

β¦ Synopsis
Fine-needle aspirates and tissue sections from 120 surgically treated parathyroid (PT) lesions and histologic archive material from PT lesions in 1,500 additional cases of hyperparathyroidism were reviewed to assess the importance of various features in distinguishing PT disease from other types of lesions by aspiration cytology. We conclude that the morphologic variation shown by PT lesions is so many-sided that this distinction cannot be based on the presence or absence of a single feature only. Instead the cytologic picture as a whole must be taken into account and evaluated with full knowledge of the anatomical conditions pertaining to the lesion examined. If still in doubt, the diagnosis can be substantiated by supplementary immunocytochemical examinations.
