Abstract：
:In a previous study we determined that the fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of thyroid produces 16% of false-negative cases (FNC). In order to determine the value of quantitative cytology (QC) as a tool for predicting the FNC result, thirty-seven cases, 18 of which were operated (histologically benign: 13; malignant: 3; atypical adenoma; 2) were examined for quantitative morphologic characteristics. The smears were stained by the Feulgen method and nuclear parameters of morphometry, densitometry and texture were computed by a cell image processor. The system was first taught to recognize the benign and malignant cells from 3 histologically benign and malignant lesions. Thereafter, prospective cases were submitted to decisional analysis. For 10 histologically benign cases, the benign cell rate (bcr) ranged from 65% to 99.4 (95% confidence interval). Among the patients with a cytologically benign lesion (and an unknown histological diagnosis), 2 had a bcr less than 65% and so were not to be regarded as benign. The follow-up of these patients will show whether they represent FNC and whether QC can be of predictive value in assessing the FNC.
