This is a retrospective study to examine the role of AgNOR in differentiating thyroid follicular carcinoma and adenoma preoperatively on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) smears. Nineteen histopathology-proven cases of follicular adenoma and carcinoma were selected for this study. May-Grünwald-Giemsa-stained smears were destined and AgNOR staining technique was employed. Significant differences of AgNOR values were observed among follicular carcinoma versus adenoma (P < .05) and follicular carcinoma versus control cases (P < .01). Thereby the AgNOR technique may have some role in differentiating between benign and malignant follicular neoplasms of thyroid.
这是一项回顾性研究,旨在探讨核仁组成区嗜银蛋白(AgNOR)在术前细针穿刺(FNA)涂片鉴别甲状腺滤泡癌和腺瘤中的作用。本研究选取了19例经组织病理学证实的滤泡性腺瘤和癌病例。对May-Grünwald-Giemsa染色涂片进行检测,并采用AgNOR染色技术。滤泡癌与腺瘤之间(P <.05)以及滤泡癌与对照病例之间(P <.01)的AgNOR值存在显著差异。因此,AgNOR技术在鉴别甲状腺滤泡性肿瘤的良恶性方面可能具有一定作用。
