Abstract
Eight patients with spindle and giant cell carcinoma of the thyroid were seen between 1973 and 1977, representing 12% of all neoplasms of the thyroid in that period. The mean age at detection was 69.2 yr. The mean survival was 5.3 mo. Fine needle aspiration was performed in 6 of these 8 patients. In all 6 patients the diagnosis could be made cytologically. The cytologic characteristics of this lesion are presented, and the differential diagnosis is discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
