    Utility of fine‐needle aspiration for diagnosis of carcinoma associated with multinodular goitre
    (Wiley, 2004) Antonio Ríos; José Manuel Rodrı́guez; P.J. Galindo; M. Montoya; Francisco Javier Tébar; Joaquín Sola; Manuel Canteras; Pascual Parrilla
    Thyroid fine needle aspiration is not useful for differentiating MNG with malignant degeneration from benign MNG, as more than 80% of carcinomas go unnoticed; it provides a sensitivity of 17% for detecting carcinomas, rising to 26% if microcarcinomas are excluded. We therefore suggest that clinical criteria should prevail over FNA.
