Follicular lesions of the thyroid: a retrospective study of 1,348 fine needle aspiration biopsies.

abstract：:Since the 1980s core needle biopsy (CNB) has gained remarkable popularity and in many institutions it has replaced fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). However, similar to FNAB, limitation remains in the ability of this procedure to reliably diagnose a small, but prognostically significant, number of breast lesions. ...
