## Background: The follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (fvpc) presents significant diagnostic difficulty using fine-needle aspiration (fna). diagnoses by fna vary considerably and usually are categorized as follicular proliferations. ## Methods: Conventional papanicolaou, diff-quik, and hem

Crile and Hazard reported in 1953 a follicular pattern of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Little has been said about this pattern in the cytologic literature. From more than 8,000 thyroid aspirates in our files, we reviewed all those diagnosed as ''follicular variant of papillary carcinoma,'' ''suspect
## Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the thyroid gland, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (fnab) often is the initial diagnostic method used in its detection. prior studies have shown that immunohistochemical staining for various cytokeratins in genera
## BACKGROUND. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy in the U.S. As many as half of patients with papillary carcinoma present with cervical lymph node metastases at the time of diagnosis. Metastatic disease involving cervical lymph node tissue has not historically been p
## Background: Detection of follicular variant (fv) of papillary carcinoma (pc) of the thyroid is considered difficult in cytology. various ancillary studies have been used to increase the sensitivity in the detection of fvpc in fine-needle aspiration (fna). we previously reported that the clear nu
