Anaplastic spindle-cell squamous carcinoma arising in association with tall-cell papillary cancer of the thyroid: A potential pitfall

abstract：:Flow cytometry is a rapid method for measuring DNA content. Its high sensitivity and specificity in detecting transitional cell carcinomas in bladder washings should make it a routinely applied adjunct to cytology once universal laboratory standards are firmly established.
