Abstract
Background: Ultrasound guided Fine needle aspiration Cytology decrease is a useful technique with minimum invasion and complication.
Objectives: To evaluate of solitary thyroid nodule by Ultrasound guided Fine needle aspiration Cytology.
Method: This prospective study done on 30 patients with solitary thyroid nodule presenting in department of pathology from January 2018 to December 2018 to evaluate of solitary thyroid nodule by Ultrasound guided Fine needle aspiration Cytology. All patients clinically examined, ultrasound thyroid and Ultrasound guided Fine needle aspiration Cytology.
Result: 30 patients were included in our study in ratio female to male (6:1). Ultrasound guided Fine needle aspiration Cytology result showed that colloid nodule with follicular epithelium in 15 cases, colloid nodular goiter in 5 cases, hashimoto thyroiditis in 02 case, adenomatous nodule in 01 case and metastatic lesion in 07 cases in which papillary carcinoma in 06 cases and undifferentiated carcinoma in 01 case.
Conclusion: Ultrasound guide FNA has a high accuracy in diagnosis of solitary thyroid nodule with cytological features of malignancy.
Keywords: Thyroid nodule, ultrasound guided FNAC, Thyroid malignancy.
