## Abstract Specific criteria for the diagnosis of fineβneedle aspiration (FNA) of HΓΌrthle Cell Carcinoma (HCC) have rarely been discussed in the literature. A retrospective review of 35 FNA cases with the diagnosis of HΓΌrthle cell lesion or HΓΌrthle cell neoplasm was performed. In each case, there
This series retrospectively reviewed 3657 patients who received thyroid ultrasonography with fine-needle aspiration cytological (FNAC) examinations at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital during the period from January 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Thyroid ultrasonography studies were performed using a real
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%,
