- Abstract
Key message: The clinician could have CNB in mind for thyroid nodules when FNA results were nondiagnostic. Our study would suggest CNB a safe and efficient method for investigating thyroid nodules. Usefulness of preoperative tissue sampling and pathology diagnoses in thyroid tumors were accepted worldwide. We investigate the role of Core needle biopsy (CNB) in the thyroid nodules lesions when FNA results are nondiagnostic. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate twenty-six CNBs results of suspicious malignant thyroid nodules with nondiagnostic repeated fine needle aspiration. 25 from 26 CNBs were diagnostic. Twenty-one needle biopsy reports were papillary thyroid carcinoma, three CNB samples diagnosed medullary thyroid carcinoma and one of them had anaplastic results. All diagnostic needle biopsies results were compatible with final pathology. Our study would suggest CNB a safe and efficient method for investigating thyroid nodules while repeated FNA yielded nondiagnostic results.
