Abstract

Thyroid lesions are common clinical findings and have reported prevalence of 4-7% of adult populations1. USG guided FNAC of thyroid gland is a widely accepted, accurate and costeffective method for treating patient with thyroid lesions especially in cystic and multi nodular lesions harboring malignancy.3 it reduces the rate of unnecessary thyroid surgeries for patients with benign nodules. This technique has been successfully utilized in the diagnosis of many pathological lesions in multiple organs including lung, lymph nodes, bone, thyroid, salivary gland, soft tissue as well as other anatomic regions like head and neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis.2, 3, 4 USG guided Fine needle aspiration cytology is an invaluable, rapid, virtually noninvasive and simple diagnostic procedure, the importance and applicability of which is being increasingly appreciated by clinicians and pathologists worldwide in recent time.
