| Popis: | To the Editor. —We recently compared the histopathological follow-up of 146 patients who underwent prior evaluation of their thyroid enlargements by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) prior to surgery (during the period from 1984 to June 1990) with a group of 182 patients who had thyroid surgery without preoperative FNAB during the period from 1962 to 1964.Study. —In our current experience, the four most frequent diagnoses at surgery were follicular adenoma and carcinoma (32.9% and 8.8%, respectively), papillary adenocarcinoma (31.5%), and nodular goiter (15.8%). These four entities accounted for 89% of all patients.During the 1962 to 1964 period, nodular goiter accounted for 41.8% and follicular adenoma for 34.6% of the final histopathological diagnoses; papillary adenocarcinoma followed chronic thyroiditis in frequency (7.7% and 8.2%, respectively). These four diagnostic categories accounted for 92.3% of the experience at that time. Comparing the results at surgery for these two periods is instructive (Table). |
