Cystic lesions of the thyroid are common. Most are benign nodules with degenerative changes in a multinodular goiter. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens from these cystic nodules usually are easily interpreted as benign. However, occasionally, cells with atypical features are encountered, increasing the possibility of a cystic malignant neoplasm. To the authors' knowledge, the microscopic features of these benign cells, presumed to be of cyst-lining origin, have not been well described to date. To refine the description of their morphologic features, with the belief that better recognition will avoid unnecessary surgery, the authors examined the cytologic and corresponding histologic features of thyroid cysts with "atypical" cells.
