| Popis: | The aim of the study is to highlight the importance of cell-block study in combination with FNAC in the diagnosis of different thyroid lesions. This study was a retrospective study of 30 patients with thyroid swellings who came to cytopathology unit in Sree Balaji Medical College. FNAC and cell-blocks performed for each case was reviewed. Cytological results of FNAC were compared to the cell-block histopathological picture. FNAC findings were diagnosed as follows: 16 (61%) as colloid goiter, 4 (5.8%) as Hashimoto thyroiditis, 2 (5.8%) follicular neoplasm without atypia, 2 (2.3%) as follicular neoplasm with atypia, 2 (2.3%) as suspicious of malignancy, 3 (11.7%) papillary thyroid carcinoma, and 1 (1.1%) thyroid carcinoma of undefined category. Insufficient cases were 5 in number. The sensitivity of FNAC in comparison with histopathological results of cell-blocks was 91.6% and specificity was 97.2%. It is advised to perform cell-block for each case of FNAC of thyroid lesions to decrease the pitfalls and to improve the diagnosis and management of thyroid lesions. |
