Sensitivity of fine-needle aspiration for papillary carcinoma of the thyroid correlates with tumor size.

abstract：:Infection due to Coccidioides spp., a dimorphic fungal pathogen, usually presents as a chronic pulmonary disease, occasionally with pulmonary nodules. On cytology, large spherules filled with endospores are typically seen. We report an unusual case of coccidioidomycosis in a 39-year-old female from an area nonendemic ...
