Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology is a valuable tool used for diagnosing and classifying thyroid lesions. Material and Methods: The present prospective cytological study of thyroid lesions by fine needle aspiration was undertaken in the Department of Pathology from July 2010 to June 2012.A detailed clinical history was obtained before aspiration. Wet fixed smears were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and papanicolaou. Air dried smears were stained with May-Grunwald Giemsa stained. Result: Out of 543 adequate thyroid aspirates,144 (52.74%) cases of goitre, 72 (26.37%) cases of thyroiditis, 4 (1.46 %) cases of Grave's disease, 1 (0.36%) case of thyroid cyst, 28 (10.25%) cases of indeterminate neoplasm and 25 (9.15%). cases of malignancies. Conclusions: FNAC plays a pivitol role in diagnosing thyroid lesions, classifying them into benign and malignant and also to study the salient features of each lesion
