Multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) are reported in many thyroid lesions. This study examines whether their quantity and quality can help in the differential diagnosis. All fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of the thyroid with a ''significant'' number of MNGCs were reviewed from 1995 -1998. There were 2
