Medullary thyroid carcinoma: pitfalls in diagnosis by fine needle aspiration cytology and relationship of cytomorphology to RET proto-oncogene mutations.

Acta cytologica - 1 Jan 2000

Chang Tien-Chun, Wu Shih-Lu, Hsiao Yung-Lien

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the pitfalls in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and the relationship of cytomorphology to RET proto-oncogene mutations. STUDY DESIGN: Cytomorphology was reviewed in the fine needle aspiration slides of 34 patients with MTC proven by surgery and pathology. Germline or somatic RET proto-oncogene mutations were determined using...
