Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: To compare the two techniques namely fine needle aspiration and fine needle non aspiration cytology in thyroid lesions. The present study was undertaken to compare the two techniques namely fine needle aspiration and fine needle non aspiration cytology in 92 cases of thyroid aspirates which included thyroiditis, colloid goitre, follicular neoplasm and papillary carcinoma. Mair et al point scoring system was used to score the aspirates. The number of thyroid lesions sampled was 92. Out of these 40 cases (43.47%) were colloid goitre, 2 cases (2.10%) de-Quervain’s thyroiditis, 18 cases (19.56%) chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, 22 cases (23.91%) follicular neoplasm, 8 cases (8.6%) of papillary carcinoma and including 2 cases of follicular neoplasm/cellular phase of multinodulargoitre. In all thyroid lesions, the non-aspiration technique showed statistically significant superior results to aspiration technique in the parameters, amount of cellular material, cellular trauma.In the present study, superior quality material was seen in more number of non-aspiration samples than in aspiration samples with less cellular trauma. Keywords:FNAC, thyroid, head and neck.
