Abstract: Introduction: Thyroid nodular lesions are a common clinical problem. Solitary thyroid nodule is clinically defined as localized thyroid enlargement with apparently normal surrounding tissue. 4-7% of the adult populations have a clinically palpable thyroid nodule accessible to fine needle aspiration2. Majority of the thyroid nodules are benign. Aims and Objectives: To study cytological profile of thyroid lesions and compare the results with Ultrasonography and clinical findings. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study is carried out in the department of pathology on 200 patients with thyroid swelling over a period of 2 years. FNAC cases were reported according to the 2017 Bethesda System for reporting thyroid cytopathology. The results were correlated with Ultrasonography and clinical findings. Results: Out of 200 cases, 166(83%) cases were diagnosed as benign lesions, 23(11.5%) cases were indeterminate lesions and 11 (5.5%) cases were diagnosed as malignant on FNAC. On USG, 173(86.5%) cases were benign, 18(9%) cases were indeterminate lesions and 9(4.5%) cases were malignant lesions. Conclusion: FNAC is a simple, minimally invasive and inexpensive OPD procedure with a higher validity in diagnosing thyroid malignancy than USG. FNAC and USG must be used together in the diagnostic work up to select patients for thyroidectomy in cases harbouring a thyroid malignancy.
