Le point sur l'immunocytochimie et sur son intérêt dans la prise en charge des nodules thyroïdiens

Fine needle aspiration cytopathology is currently the best approach for evaluating thyroid nodules. Follicular lesions represent a morphological limit which may be overcome using immunocytochemistry. We report here a series of known markers useful in cytology and helping the cytopathologist in distinguishing benign from malignant follicular neoplasms of the thyroid.
