Importance of FNAC in the detection of tumours within multinodular goitre of the thyroid
View through CrossRef
The primary challenge in the management of a multinodular thyroid gland is to rule out malignancy. The present study was undertaken to assess the value of preoperative ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing tumours of the thyroid gland. Of the 80 patients operated for multinodular lesions, malignant tumours were found in 29 and benign tumours in 36 patients (81%) and non‐tumorous lesions in 15 (19%) patients. Compared with the histopathological postoperative diagnosis, the overall sensitivity of FNAC was 85% and specificity 88%. Current morphological diagnosis of the nodules in multinodular goitre requires thorough preoperative examination, including ultrasound‐guided FNAC in order to establish the appropriate management.
