Abstract
891 stacle to obtaining adequate cytologic specimens because of technical difficulty or lack of a cellular component. Nam et al. [7] reported that the application of the BRAFV600E mutation analysis from FNA specimens is more effective for thyroid nodules with malignant ultrasound features than for nodules without malignant ultrasound features. On the basis of these data, we hypothesized that BRAFV600E mutation testing of FNA specimens is likely to increase the diagnostic accuracy in calcified nodules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic contribution of BRAFV600E mutation analysis from the FNA specimens of calcified thyroid nodules.
