Thyroglobulin (Tg) level of fine needle aspiration (FNA) washout fluid (FNA-Tg) is useful to detect cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The objective of this study was to determine appropriate cutoff values of serum Tg (S-Tg) and FNA-Tg levels for diagnosis of lateral neck LN metastasis and investigate their diagnostic performance.
