Abstract

Objective To evaluate the liquid-based cytology in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases. Methods Two hundred cases of thyroid lesion in outpatient and inpatient departments underwent liquid-based cytological examinations to compare the quality and diagnosis of traditional manual smear preparation. Results The preserved specimens and smears made with liquid-PREP showed an increased number of valuable cells, a cleaner background, uniform distribution, less thyroid colloid in the smear and clear nuclei. The positive rate of thyroid cancer was 6.55% (15/229) in liquid-PREP and 3.93% (9/229) in traditional manual smear preparation. Conclusions Liquid-PREP improves the smear quality and positive rate of cancer in thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology and can serve as a promising diagnostic method for thyroid lesion.
