## Abstract Mixed medullaryβfollicular carcinoma (MMFC) of thyroid is an extremely rare tumor, characterized by coexistence of morphological and immunohistochemical features of both medullary carcinoma and follicular (or papillary) carcinoma. We herein present fine needle aspiration (FNA) findings
## Abstract ## Background Our aim was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fineβneedle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for Warthin tumors of the parotid gland. ## Methods All cytologic diagnoses of Warthin tumor between 1990 and 2007 were correlated with available histology. In addition, our result
The diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was evaluated in thyroid nodules in 100 consecutive cases , who subsequently underwent thyroidectomy between the years 1989-1991. FNAC as a diagnostic test for thyroid nodules demonstrated an accuracy of 90.9%, a sensitivity of 76.5%,
