“…It may just be that these are PTC follicles, but the disease is so focal and indolent that it never presents as clinically relevant disease. Cyst formation is also quite common in metastatic PTC, seen in up to 70 % of cases, and a subset may be entirely cystic [33] (Fig. 5).…”

“…However, cervical LN diagnosis relies on FNA, which crucially depends on the experience and ability of the cytopathologist, and may be a challenging diagnostic category as cervical LN could harbor metastasis from a multiplicity of extrathyroidal malignancies or be affected by several non-tumoral diseases [96,97].…”

“…Embora a sensibilidade da USC em detectar massas ocultas e linfonodos cervicais não-palpáveis esteja bem documentada, a capacidade de diferenciar linfonodos "benignos" (inflamatórios ou reacionais) de linfonodos "malignos" (metastáticos) é baixa (12,16). Após a detecção de linfonodos "suspeitos" à USC, é necessária a realização de estudo citológico obtido através da punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF) (12,(16)(17)(18).…”

“…Após a detecção de linfonodos "suspeitos" à USC, é necessária a realização de estudo citológico obtido através da punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF) (12,(16)(17)(18). O estudo citológico obtido da PAAF de um linfonodo suspeito à USC apresenta valor fundamental, principalmente nos pacientes com sTg indetectáveis em vigência de TSH suprimido e naqueles com metástases não iodo-captantes.…”
