Popis: Objective. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in humans. Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is now considered the best diagnostic tool for the evaluation of any thyroid nodule. Thyroid cytology is graded from Thy1 to Thy5 with Thy3 being the most challenging in diagnosis. Our aim was to identify the risk of malignancy in Thy3 cytology in our centre. This risk should be explained to the patient before taking any decision.
