Background: Thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland to develop, largest of all endocrine glands. Superficial location of thyroid gland allows evaluation of thyroid lesions by FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). Aims and Objective: To study cytological profile of thyroid lesions and correlate the results with Ultrasonography findings and clinical features. Material and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 138 patients who came to the department from period of May 2012 to December 2014. Out of these 138 patients USG was carried out in 115 patients. FNAC of patients was performed and results of FNAC were correlated with those of USG reports and clinical features of the patient. Results: Out of 138 cases 83 (60.1%) cases were benign, 18(13.0%) cases were inflammatory, 2 (1.4%) cases were malignant, 28 (20.3%) were categorised as indeterminate, and 7 (5.1%) cases were inadequate. All the 2 malignant cases were given as neoplastic on USG. Conclusion: FNAC is the main diagnostic modality of choice for thyroid lesions, along with Ultrasonography and clinical examination it helps to come to the proper diagnosis.

“…Hong et al . [ 25 ] stated that US characteristics for cancer are considered positive when the presence of microcalcification, absence of halo sign and hypoechoic lesions were recognized. Sensitivity and specificity of US in their research is 81% and 70%, and FNAB 87.62%.…”

“…Frederico et al [24] in their research stated that 62% of cold nodule cases were malignant and 76.9% were benign. Kovacevic et al [25] in their research showed that US characteristics related to malignancy are hypoechoic, irregular margins, calcification, absence of hypoechoic margin. The difference in echoic of malignant and benign lesions was not statistically significant.…”

“…The difference in echoic of malignant and benign lesions was not statistically significant. Authors from the USA Iannuccilli et al [25] stated that comparison of US characteristics of benign and malignant nodules resulted in defining of microcalcification as the only statistically significant indicator of malignancy (35.3% sensitivity, 94.4%, P > 0.005).…”

Can ultrasound predict malignancy in patient with thyroid cold nodule?

Thyroid nodule is one of the most common endocrine diseases in the world; it occurs in 4–7% of the general population. Depending on the method of discovery, 4–8% nodules are discovered using palpation, 10–41% with ultrasound (US), and 50% through autopsy where only 20% or less of cold thyroid nodules are caused by cancerous lesions. The aim of this study was to assess US as supporting modality for thyroid scintigraphy to predict malignancy in patient with thyroid cold nodules. In a retrospective study between 2009 and 2013, we analyzed 399 subjects with cold thyroid nodule, where 39 subjects (36 women and 3 men) presented with malignant thyroid cold nodule and 19 subjects underwent US. The US showed malignancy parameters in 8 (42.11%) subjects, while the rest of the 11 (57.89%) subject were benign. Out of all the subjects who underwent US in this study, only 8 (42.11%) subjects shown malignancy characteristics in cold thyroid nodule with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). That means US parameters of malignant thyroid nodule do not always show up in malignant cold thyroid nodule.

“…In rest categories there was no significant differences were observed in both USG and FNAC in assessing thyroid swelling. Statistically significant correlation was found between cytological examination of thyroid lesions and USG examination in a study by Sehovic S et al 35 Thyroid nodules with a maximum diameter greater than 1 cm should be evaluated because they have a greater potential to be clinically significant carcinomas. Nodules less than 1 cm in diameter with suspicious ultrasound findings or associated lymphadenopathy, a history of head and neck irradiation, or a family history of thyroid cancer require evaluation.…”
