The utility of cellient cell blocks in low-cellularity thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsies

Background Low cellularity can be problematic in thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies. The Cellient cell block (CB) system has been reported to improve cell recovery compared to traditional methods. Therefore, we studied the utility of Cellient CBs in the evaluation of thyroid FNAs, with an emphasis on low-cellularity specimens. Methods ThinPrep slides were prepared from thyroid FNAs submitted in Cytolyt. After assessment using TBSRTC...
