Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thyroid tumours occur in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD), a condition caused by germline alterations in the FLCN gene that confers an increased cancer risk. Somatic FLCN mutations may also contribute to tumorigenesis. In this study, we present the first description of the cytopathology of two thyroid tumours evaluated by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and harbouring pathogenic FLCN...
