Role of FNAC in diagnosing lesions of hand and wrist.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We previously found that the presence of atypical urothelial tissue fragments (AUTF) was associated with an increased risk of high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) but not low-grade urothelial neoplasia (LGUN) in voided urine (VU) specimens. However, we subsequently found that patients with LGUN were more l...
