Fine-needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy

Fine-needle aspiration cytology and core biopsy

This is the investigation of choice when attempting to determine the nature of a neck or thyroid mass. Fine-needle Michael Anthony Epstein , b. 1921, formerly Professor of Pathology , University of Bristol, Bristol, UK. Yvonne Barr , 1931–2016, virologist who emigrated to Australia. Epstein and Barr discovered this virus in 1964. for deep-seated lesions) to the extent that ultrasound-guided FNAC or core biopsy is now the standard of care in many units around the world. Core biopsy is the prefer red technique in investigating a neck node as immunohistochemistry tests can be performed on the tissue samples to determine positivity to human papillomavirus (HPV) or Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) in current-day practice. The technique is safe and well tolerated and has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity , especially when diagnosing cervical lymph node enlargement.
