Comparison of Fine needle aspiration followed by histopathology and sonographic features of thyroid nodule to formulate a diagnosis: A cross-sectional study

Thyroid nodules are solid lumps filled with fluid that develop inside the thyroid gland. Due to their small size, majority of them go undetected and asymptomatic. However, some cancerous. Objectives: To compare diagnostic accuracy Fine needle aspiration followed by histopathology sonographic features nodule Methods: In this study, 274 participants were included. All detected solitary euthyroid nodule. patients considered in present study had normal values T4 TSH as supposed be studied. subjected undergo a USG per TIRADS system FNAC wherever it was applicable. The biopsy report excised sample gold standard. Result: classification more specific than system, however, sensitivity both same. Micro-calcification most sensitive individuals underwent USG. Irregular margins specificity 88% taller-than-wider shape 91% specificity. A total 7 shown benign on cytology, whereas, they suspiciously malignant (TIRADES 4 5) showed malignancy final evaluation after surgery. Conclusion: diagnosis is equal, FNA (90%). minimally invasive procedure can opted for differentiation lesions an 86%. Patients showing high-risk sonography repeat should also referred surgical make definitive diagnosis.
