Our results suggest that the presence of thyroid spherules in FNA specimens can serve as a highly specific marker for benign thyroid conditions. The prevalence of spherule detection is strongly influenced by the cellularity. In cases with moderate to high cellularity, the identification of spherules can assist the cytopathologists in diagnosing thyroid FNA cases as benign.
