title: Thyrolipoma: diagnostic pitfalls in the cytologic diagnosis and review of the literature.
abstract: Thyrolipoma, or adenolipoma of the thyroid gland, is an uncommon neoplasm and thus not recognized by many cytopathologists. This is the first article to describe the fine-needle aspirate findings of a histologically confirmed thyrolipoma. The gross morphologic and computerized tomographic features of this entity are also discussed, and the literature is reviewed.
