Sonographically guided fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodule: discrepancies between cytologic and histopathologic findings.
PURPOSE To analyze the discrepancies between the cytologic results of sonographically (US)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules and final histopathologic results and to discuss the limitations of US-guided FNA. MATERIALS AND METHODS The results of US-guided FNAs performed by a single experienced radiologist in 315 thyroid nodules in 292 patients (246 women, 46 men aged 12-79...
متن کاملComparison of Cytologic Reports of Fine-Needle Aspiration of Thyroid Nodules with Pathologic Results of Thyroid Surgery
Background and Objective: Thyroid nodules are among the most common clinical problems and the application of an inexpensive and accurate diagnostic method prevents performing inessential surgeries. In this regard, the aim of this study was to compare the cytologic report of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules with the results of thyroid surgery. Materials and Methods: In this cross...
متن کاملUltrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodule
Introduction: The prevalence of clinically palpable thyroid nodules is approximately 4–7%, but the prevalence of ultrasound-detectable nodules is 19 to 67%. FNAC is widely accepted and has become cornerstone in evaluation of thyroid nodules, because it is a simple and accurate screening test with high sensitivity and specificity in the preoperative evaluation of thyroid lesions. Ultrasound guid...
متن کاملFine Needle Aspiration Cytology versus Fine Needle Capillary Sampling in Cytological Diagnosis of Thyroid Lesions
Background and Objectives: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an established out- patient procedure used in primary diagnosis of palpable thyroid lesions. A modified technique fine needle capillary sampling (FNCS) obviates the need of suction, is less painful, patient friendly and reported to overcome the problem of inadequate and bloody specimens. The aim of our study was to compare the...
متن کاملCombination of aspiration and non-aspiration fine needle biopsy for cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules
Background: Good cytological sample is very important for the cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of prepared samples by the combination of aspiration and non- aspiration fine needle biopsy. Methods: In this descriptive – analytical study, sampling was done simultaneously for each patient in fine needle aspiration and non-aspiration biops...
