[Experiences with ambulatory cytodiagnosis of the thyroid gland].
It is reported on 250 needle biopsies of the thyroid gland above all in scintigraphically cold nodes. In altogether 57% of the patients either a fully inconspicuous cell picture or degenerative findings not suspicious for malignity were present. In 28% of the cases a cyst of the thyroid gland was the result. Four tumours were cytologically established; a small carcinoma in a large nodular struma was not recognized by puncture. According to corresponding opinions the needle biopsy of the thyroid gland is a valuable supplementation of the ambulant diagnostics of the thyroid gland.
