Cytopathological features, in conjunction with imaging, allowed a definite diagnosis of TGDC in most patients (75%). The presence of mature squamous cells, thyroid follicular cells, with or without colloid and/or lymphocytes alone allowed a differential diagnosis of TGDC and its mimics in 17%. US-FNA findings could not distinguish primary carcinomas arising from TGDCs from metastatic tumors.
