Cytological/histopathological correlation with benign and malignant cases.

Cytodiagnosis	Histologic diagnosis
	Benign	Malignant
ND/UNS ( = 2)	2	0
Benign ( = 23)	20	3
AUS/FLUS ( = 1)	0	1
FN/SFN ( = 4)	3	1
SFM ( = 6)	3	3
Malignant ( = 4)	0	4

(1) ND/UNS = nondiagnostic/unsatisfactory, AUS/FLUS = atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance, FN/SFN = follicular neoplasm/suspected for a follicular neoplasm, and SFM = suspected for malignancy.
(2) = total number of cases.
