Abstract :

 INTRODUCTION

 A solitary thyroid nodule is defined as a palpable single, clinically detected nodule in the thyroid. They cause more concern because of high probability of malignancy in them, which can range from 5–35% of all solitary thyroid nodules. Nodular lesion comprises those disorders that produce a clinical nodule and consists of non–neoplastic hyperplasia as well as benign and malignant tumours.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The present study was conducted in cytopathology section in Department of  Pathology  on the cases which  presented   from December 2015 to June 2017.

Type of study­ – Prospective study

Methodology

All the patients with palpable thyroid nodule referred from the OPD of J.A hospital for FNAC were included in the study. 22–25 gauge needle attached to 20 ml syringe was used for aspiration. On an average 2 to 3 passes were made in the lesion and the aspirate was smeared in clean glass slide and air dried smear. May Grunwald Giemsa (MGG) staining was done and using DPX MOUNTANT slide were prepared

RESULTS

 To assess diagnostic  parameters for cytodiagnosis of thyroid lesions.Thyroid cytology comprised  212 cases of total FNACs(4150) conducted at our institution over study  period (December 2015 to June 2017). It was observed  that  during this period the percentage of  thyroid  FNACs  has remained more or less constant

The mean age of patients with thyroid lesions in our study was  40.8. years. Female : Male ratio in our study was 4.73:1. The lower size of the thyroid swelling mostly favours benign pathology.In our study, the majority of the patients–90 cases (42.45%) had the size of the thyroid swelling between 2 to 3 cms .Maximum size of the swelling was 4 to 5cms diameter in 11 cases
