Thyroid Nodule : Cytohistological Correlation

In the assessment of Thyroid lesions Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is widely considered as the diagnostic technique of choice. Retrospectively 96 patients with Thyroid nodules seen during the period August 2012 – July 2013 were analyzed to determine the utility and diagnostic accuracy in establishing the diagnosis of thyroid lesions.
