The cytological morphology observed in liquid-based cytology (LBC) preparations is dissimilar to that of conventional preparations. The aim of this report is to clarify the cytological differences between benign follicular nodules (BFNs) and follicular neoplasms (FNs) in LBC preparations and identify novel diagnostic criteria for LBC preparations.
