Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pathology and Oncology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Fine needle aspiration cytology FNAC is the most sensitive accurate and cost effective initial method for the clinical management of patient with thyroid nodules Majority of the thyroid nodules are benign with cancer accounting for only 1 of all the lesions Hence it is imperative for the treating surgeon to know the biologic nature as to benign versus malignant lesions and thus plan appropriate treatment This would in turn avoid unnecessary surgeries Follicular patterned lesions is a grey zone area in cytologyAims and Objectives To study the various morphological features of thyroid lesions by fine needle aspiration cytology and classify them according to Bethesda system for thyroid cytopathology2007 and to evaluate the utility of FNAC in planning the management of thyroid lesionsMaterials and Methods The study was conducted in Department of Pathology Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed to be University Medical College and Hospital Sangli on patients meeting the mentioned inclusion and exclusion criteriaResults Out of 90 cases 3 cases 334 were unsatisfactory for reporting 69 cases 7667 were benign 7 cases 777 were categorized under AUSFLUS 9 cases 10 were reported as Follicular Neoplasm FN or Suspicious for FN 1 case 111 was reported as suspicious of malignancy and 1 case 111 were reported as malignantConclusion FNAC of the thyroid is simpler and accurate preoperative diagnostic test compared with other diagnostic modalities The results of thyroid cytology must be assessed in conjunction with the clinical findings and other investigations like TFT and USG findings in view of the possibility of false negative or false positive cytological diagnosisKeywords FNAC Bethesda Thyroid Follicular Neoplasm
