The role of thyroid fine‐needle aspiration cytology in the pediatric population: An institutional experience

Abstract

Thyroid FNAC represents a valuable/feasible tool in childhood. The higher incidence of histological malignancies justifies the cytological application of ancillary techniques (ie, ICC or molecular panels), thereby enabling a more adequate surgical selection based on the effective distinction of high-risk and low-risk lesions mainly for the categories of FN/AUS and SM.
