Our study showed that psammoma bodies in cytology preparations were more often associated with malignancies in our study of 78 cytology specimens (69%). The most sampled location in our study was peritoneal cavity, followed by pleural cavity, thyroid, lymph nodes, neck masses, and omentum. The clinicopathologic value of psammoma bodies in predicting malignancy varies depending on locations and specimen types.
