A member asked:
Fna thyroid cytology report said the specimen quantity is insufficient for cellblock w/follicular nodulal goiter. what does this mean?

An FNA?: Usually we do not do cell blocks. Have your slides evaluated by a cytopathologist. If this is a flus lesion you have a 5-15% chance this is a neoplasm. If it is insufficient you need it repeated by a competent endo or radiologist.

Non-diagnostic: Generally means the test is non-diagnostic. I suggest repeating the FNA. Please find an experienced radiologist who can do the FNA under ultrasound guidance.
