Abstract :
Thyroid organ is unique among endocrine organs and is subjected to vast array of developmental , hyperplastic, inflammatory and neoplastic disorders.Prior to FNAC 50% of the cases are operated for thyroid swellings,malignancy was foud in only0.55% to25%.FNAC has reduced these unnecessary thyroid surgeries and is simple , rapid and cost effective test.We have followed Bethesda system for reporting FNAC cases.Bethesda system is highy standardized ,reprod ucible ,improved clinical significance and greater predictive value.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To study the pathological spectrum of thyroid lesions reported at department of pathology
To determine diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in evaluating thyroid swellings using 6 tier Bethesda system
To assess correlation between preoperative cytodiagnosis and post operative histopathological examination where ever available
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study reviewing FNACs between Jan2016 to Dec2016,classified using Bethesda system , found out the distribution of the cases in each Bethesda category and calculatd the malignancy risk for each category by follow up histopathology
RESULTS: A total of 520 cases of thyroid lesions are subjected to FNAC.Majority cases among them were benign (423 cases with 81.3%) least were malignant (4cases with 0.76%)
In 135 cases biopsy sections for HPE were available.Risk of malignancy calculated in our study correlated well with Bethesda system
