- Abstract
Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid is a low cost, effective, safe diagnostic tool which can aid in evaluation of benign and malignant lesions. The Bethesda System of Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) of thyroid nodules standardizes the nomenclature of reporting of thyroid cytological findings. Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Pathology at Osmania General Hospital, Afzalgunj, Hyderabad over a period of 2 years which included 424 patients with thyroid nodules from the Departments of Surgery, Medicine and E.N.T. Results: Females (n= 373) outnumbered males. Lesions belonging to Category -- II (Benign) were the predominant ones. Out of 424 samples, 3.5% of them had malignancy. Conclusion: This study concludes that nomenclature according to TBSRTC ensures uniformity in reporting.
