    Abstract:
    The value of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in the diagnosis of parathyroid adenomas was demonstrated by a cytohistologic review of seven cases. The cytologic patterns, which were characterized by numerous, mostly isolated epithelial cells and naked nuclei showing anisokaryosis and multiple nucleoli, were consistent with the histologic findings in this neoplasm, which should be considered in the differential (FNA) diagnosis of masses in the neck region. The only diagnostic problem is its differentiation from follicular thyroid neoplasms.
