갑상샘 세침흡인검사의 액상세포검사(SurePathTM)와 고식적 도말검사의 소견 비교 = Comparison of Liquid-based (SurePathTM) and Conventional Preparations in Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background : The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in cytologic findings between conventional preparation (CP) and SurePathTM liquid-based preparation (LBP) in thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA). Methods : We analyzed cytological features on a total of 182 thyroid FNAs (83 CP and 99 LBP) that were histologically confirmed as nodular hyperplasia (NH) or papillary carcinoma (PAC). Results : LBP was superior in cellular preservation and cellularity than CP. Interestingly, in LBP, cellularity of NH was similarly high compared to that of PAC. The three-dimensional pattern was more prominent in LBP than in CP. The presence of follicle structures was more frequently found in LBP than in CP in the PAC group. Dispersed single cells in the background were more prominent in LBP than in CP. In the PAC group, contrast of the nuclear membrane was more distinctive in CP than in LBP. Conclusions : In thyroid FNA, LBP is better for cellular preservation, cellularity, background and nuclear detail than CP. However, some features in LBP such as high cellularity in NH, prominent dispersed single cells, and frequent follicle patterns were unfamiliar findings in CP. Hence, we should be aware of these cytomorphologic features in LBP to make a proper diagnosis.
