Abstract

The differential diagnosis of follicular proliferative lesions is sometimes very difficult because these types of lesions share common morphological features. Due to this, even the histological diagnosis of these lesions is also difficult or impossible. Bearing this in mind, some helpful diagnostic methods of fine needle aspiration cytology will be discussed.
