Cytological features of the diagnosis of recurrent nodular hyperplasia of thyroid gland

Abstract

The study aimed to improve diagnostic approaches to the assessment of recurrent nodal tumours in the remaining thyroid tissue after surgical treatment, incorporating morphological, ultrasound and clinical and anamnestic features. The methodology included the examination of 69 patients with recurrent lesions classified as Bethesda categories III and IV, who underwent fine-needle aspiration core biopsy under ultrasound imaging, Doppler ultrasound with blood flow assessment, histological verification, and immunocytochemical staining.
