✦ Synopsis

Three cases of occult thyroid cancer measuring 10, 6, and 3 mm in diameter were discovered by jine-needle aspiration cytology of cervical lymph nodes. In these three cases, thyroid tumors were not palpable, and scintigraphic, echographic, and sof-tissue radiologic examinations demonstrated no abnormalities of the thyroid glands. Cyto Iogically, the presence of in tran uclear cytoplasmic inclusions, nuclear grooves, and coIloid was characteristic in aspirated materials. Histologically, all three cases were diagnosed as papillary carcinoma. Fine-needle aspiration cytology of cervical lymph node was very useful tojind occult carcinoma of the thyroid

gland.
