Sumario:Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an excellent technique for rapid diagnosis due to its speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. However, there are many gray-zone areas in cytology that needs attention. These lesions in the aspiration cytology can be overcome by applying the selective use of the series of tests. This review discusses the diagnostic challenges in the gray-zone areas in FNAC. It emphasizes the use of selective ancillary techniques to solve the problems in this area.
