Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the presence of lymphocytes in nodular goitre and its diagnostic dilemma in FNAC. Materials and methods: Total 60 thyroid biopsy cases have been examined. Results and discussion: Out of 60 cases, 23 cases show lymphocytic infiltration. The presence of lymphocytes is not the feature of nodular goitre but its association with nodular goitre creates diagnostic dilemma in FNAC as lymphocytic thyroiditis. Conclusion: As 1/3rd cases of nodular goitre show the presence of lymphocytic infiltration, the FNAC findings have to be correlated with the type of thyroid swelling in arriving the diagnosis. Keywords: FNAC, thyroid, lymphocytes, nodular goiter
