Abstract :

Background:The present study is aimed to study the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in the assessment of thyroid masses compared to pathologic findings. A thyroid nodule is a solid or cystic lump on the thyroid gland, which involves in the occurrences of various thyroid carcinomas with a notable clinical importance.

Aims and Objective:To study clinical and ultrasonographic features of thyroid lesions and correlate the results with histopathological features.

Material and Methods:This prospective study was carried out on 60 patients with thyroid swelling who came to the department of ENT Surgery and thyroid clinic. USG and FNAC/ Biopsy was done in all patients and results were compared on the end of study.

Result:Out of 60 patients, 75% (45) were benign lesions in our study of which multinodulargoitre was the most common lesion constituting 52% of lesions followed by adenoma 21% . Benign Hyperplastic nodule, colloid cyst, and hemorrhagic cyst constituted 13%, 10% and 4.3% of cases respectively. Swelling in front of neck was the most common clinical sign observed. There was significant concordances were observed in both USG and FNAC in assessing thyroid swelling.

Conclusion:Study conclude that for proper diagnosis of thyroid lesion, USG is the main diagnostic initial modality. Along with Clinical examination and histopatholgy it helps to come to the final diagnosis.
