Abstract :

 ABSTRACT

Background:       Most of thyroid nodules are benign, 5% are malignant.Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is easy procedure to distinguish benign   from malignant lesions of thyroid.

AIM:Thyroid swelling diagnosed in FNAC are correlated with histopathology.

Materials and method: In this study  440 cases of FNAC thyroid were compared with subsequent 115 thyroidectomy cases.

RESULT:In this study shows sensitivity 90.9%,specificity 99.5%  in diagnosis of thyroid lesions with FNAC

CONCLUSION;.FNAC is a simple ,easy with minimal traumatic procedure with high specificity in diagnosing malignant neoplasm.
