“…2,6 In the present study, radiological findings were available for total 59 cases (suggestive of non-neoplastic / multinodular goiter in 43 patients and of neoplastic origin in 16 cases) and histological diagnoses were in agreement with imaging findings in most of the cases (concordance rate 91.5%), more or less similar to some previous studies. 2,6 Cytology is of utmost importance in thyroid lesions as it can exclude the unnecessary surgeries in nonneoplastic lesion. In our study, FNAC was done in 66 cases, while in 03 cases surgical intervention without any known precedent aspiration cytology was done.…”

“…4,5 The most common presenting complaint was neck swelling similar to observations found by Chetan et al 5 Commonest age group of thyroid disorders (non-neoplastic as well as neoplastic) was 20-40 years of age group in our study, similar to other authors as well. 2,5,6 In contrast, Joseph et al observed maximum number of thyroid lesions in 40-50 years of age group. 7 We did not observe specific predilection of any thyroid lobe involvement; almost equal number of cases were noticed involving left (20,29%), right (18,26.1%) and both lobes (19,27.5%).…”

Clinically palpable thyroid nodules pose a challenge in diagnosis and management for surgeons and pathologists as thyroid malignancies may show overlapping characteristics with their benign counterparts in terms of physical characteristics, hormonal levels and imaging details. This study was aimed to revisit the spectrum of thyroid lesions in surgically resected specimens, their clinicopathological characteristics and to compare the cytological and imaging findings in discrepant cases.The present retrospective study retrieved a total of 69 cases of thyroid resection specimens with available relevant demographic, clinicoradiological and cytological findings. The histopathological diagnosis was considered gold standard.Colloid goitre (37.7%) and papillary carcinoma (17.4%) were found to be the commonest non-neoplastc and neoplastic lesions respectively. Peak incidence in 20-40 years of age group and M:F ratio of 1:3.6 in overall thyroid disorders was noted. 08 discrepent cases were observed while comparing histological diagnosis with radiological and /or cytological findings.Histopathological diagnoses were in agreement with imaging findings and /or FNAC results in most of the cases, however, patients with indeterminate or suspicious FNAC results, need to be followed-up for early surgical intervention if required.

“…23 The commonest age group where solitary nodules were observed in the present study was 30 -39 years and the gender was female. Balaji Dharman et al 13 observed the commonest age group as 20 -30 years. The percentage of malignancy observed in solitary nodules by different authors is depicted in Table III. The predominant age range, mean age and male: female ratio of solitary nodules studied by different authors is depicted in Table IV.…”

Background: Thyroid disorders are commonly encountered in our daily practice and specially in countries like India and Nepal (foothill areas). There are variety of lesions that can arise within thyroid gland. In such scenario it is important to diagnose neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions accurately with minimum complications so that proper management can be done as early as possible. The aim of the study was to know clinical spectrum of solitary thyroid nodules and diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology as compared to histopathological examination.Methods: We conducted our study over a period of 21 months from July 2018 to March 2020. 74 patients who gave consent and presented with solitary thyroid swelling were included in the study. Results: In our study, cases mostly presented in the age group of 31-40 years with a female preponderance. Colloid goiter was the most common pathology which presented as solitary thyroid nodule. Among neoplastic lesions, follicular adenoma was the most common benign neoplasia with papillary thyroid carcinoma being the most common malignancy. FNAC had sensitivity of 78%, specificity-100%, positive predictive value-100%, negative predictive value-88% and diagnostic accuracy-92%.Conclusions: Majority of solitary thyroid nodules are found in females of middle age group. In our study we found FNAC as valuable diagnostic tool specially in benign cases.
