- Abstract
Cytology, radiology, and radionuclide scintigraphy are the three preoperative investigation modalities to know the probable diagnosis of thyroid mass which is usually confirmed postoperatively by histopathology examination of the excised specimen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of cytology and scintigraphy in patients with thyroid swelling. It was concluded after the study that fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is safe, cost effective, valid, and reliable investigation for preoperative evaluation of thyroid swelling to differentiate between benign and malignant gland lesion on pathology.
