    Comparison of thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy and ultrasonography results
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023) Keskin, Lezzan; Karahan, Dogu; Yaprak, Buelent
    Thyroid nodules are one of the most common health problems in the community. Although most of the nodules are benign, Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is requested due to malignancy concerns. In this research, the aim was to make a comparison of the results of thyroid ultrasonography (USG) and FNAB for thyroid nodules. This study was conducted retrospectively on the data of 532 patients. Detail Edu ultrasonographic assessment was conducted before the FNAB procedure and FNAB was performed by an endocrinology specialist. FNAB results and Thyroid USG features were compared, and thyroid FNAB results were graded using the classification of World Health Organization Bethesda-2017. The average age of the individuals included in the research was 49.99 & PLUSMN; 13.65 (min = 18-max = 97). According to the 2017 Bethesda classification, 74.6% of FNAB results were benign, 16% follicular lesion of undated mined significance or A type of undated mined significance, 0.9% were malignant, and 1.1% were suspicious for malignancy. When USG findings were compared according to FNAB results, it was found that malignant lesions were significantly higher in single nodules (non- cystic and non- mixed lesions). Lesions with a single nodule on USG were found to be 3.6 times more likely to be malignant (OR 95% CI: 1.172-11.352). The gold standard method for the diagnosis the presence of thyroid nodules is thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy with ultrasound guidance. Taking samples from the correct nodule and component increases its value. The presence of a single nodule from the thyroid USG features was found to be an important predictor of malignancy according to the biopsy results.
