Abstract:
Introduction: Thyroid disease is the most common endocrine disorder. Thyroid swelling is the most common sign and the most common cause of thyroid swelling is iodine deficiency. Thyroid swelling can be benign or malignant. Due to common use of ultrasonography in the clinical practice the incidence of thyroid nodule has increased to 14-50%. However, less than 5% are actually malignant. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate thyroid nodule based on clinicopathological and radiological examination. Methods: A prospective, observational study done on 70 patients with thyroid swelling from March 2022 to February 2023 in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery Government Medical College Anantnag Kashmir. A complete clinical, radiological, cytological and histopathological examination was done on all patients. Results: In our study of 70 patients, the maximum number was in the age group of 31-40 years (36%) with female preponderance. Ultrasound revealed that non-neoplastic lesions were present in 62 (88.55%) and neoplastic lesions were present in 8 (11.45%) patients and the commonest ultrasound scoring was TIRADS-2 (thyroid imaging reporting and data system). Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed non-neoplastic lesions in 56 (80%) patients and neoplastic lesions in 14 (20%) patients. On histopathological examination non-neoplastic lesions were found in 54 (77.14%) and neoplastic lesions were found in 16 (22.86%) patients. Conclusion: Thyroid swelling was the most common during third and fourth decade with female predominance. The commonest clinical presentation was colloid nodule (60%) and the ultrasound scoring was TIRADS-2. Diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was 87.15%. Since none of the investigations were confirmatory, it was concluded that histopathological examination (HPE) is the gold standard.
