Hürthle cell metaplasia in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis: Role of age factor and review of literature on its molecular pathogenesis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vaginal fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is infrequently performed to assess palpable lesions. We perform the first multi-institutional study to evaluate this procedure. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed vaginal FNAs performed at two institutions for the past 27 years. Clinical, cytological and histological d...
