Atypical Histiocytoid Cells and Multinucleated Giant Cells in Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology of the Thyroid Predict Lymph Node Metastasis of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Preoperative detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is crucial for determining the surgical strategy to prevent locoregional recurrence of the disease. We identified the cytological predictors of lymph node metastasis in 222 consecutive patients with PTC usi...
