Profile of Non-Neoplastic and Neoplastic Thyroid Lesions by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and their Correlation with Histopathology-A One Year Prospective Study in a Teaching Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:FNAC is highly cost effective, patient friendly out-patient procedure with minimal discomfort and gives basic to accurate information regarding the lesions. It is considered as first line investigative technique as it gives quick results with good sensitivity and specificity. It also stratifies cases requiring further investigations, surgical intervention or just clinical follow-up. Present study is about the profile of non-neoplastic and neoplastic thyroid lesions by Fine needle aspiration cytology and correlates the FNAC findings with the histopathology. This study was undertaken in the Department of Pathol¬ogy, Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences, Suraram, Hyderabad, Telangana state, India, between January 2015 and December 2015. Minimum age of the patient in the study was 10 years and the maximum age of the patient was 79 years. Total numbers of cases were 212, and the study duration was 1 year. In our study of 212 cases, we encountered 178 cases (83.9 %) of Non-Neoplastic lesions and 34 cases (16.1 %) of neoplastic lesions. 189 cases (89.1%) were reported in females, 23 cases (10.9 %) were reported in male patients. Highest incidence was noted in the age group 30- 39 years (69 cases) and least incidence of thyroid lesions was noted in 70-79 age groups (4 cases). Most of the thyroid lesions we came across in the present study were benign. The neoplastic and malignant lesions were few and they were correlated well with histopathology examination. FNAC is accurate and is used as first line of investigation in the thyroid lesions; it also avoids unnecessary surgical interventions.
