Purpose: To investigate the correlation with fine needle aspiration biopsy results and final pathologic reports for determining the utility of fine needle aspiration biopsy in the evaluation of thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: In this study all the fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid, a total of 590 aspiration in 570 cases, performed from 1996 to 1999 at the Osmangazi University Medical Faculty were evaluated and the cytologic results which were categorized as benign, suspicious, malign and insufficient, analyzed for correlation with final pathologic diagnosis. Result: The diagnosis of fine needle aspiration biopsy of 406 (68.8%) cases were benign, 20 (3.4%) were suspicious, 6 (1%) were malignant and 158 (26.8%) were unsatisfactory. Cytohistologic correlation was available in 50 cases, which were operated. One (2.4%) of 37 cases which was cytolocically diagnosed as benign, 2 (28.5%) of 7 cases which were cytolocically diagnosed as suspicious and 5 (83.3%) of 6 cases which were cytologically diagnosed as malignant were found to be malignant histologically. Nodular hyperplasia was observed in 1 (16.7 %) case cytologically diagnosed as malignant. Our results showed a sensivity of 62.5%, specificity of 98% and diagnostic accuracy 92%. If suspicious cases were considered as positive, the sensivity increased 88%, while specificity and diagnostic accuracy decreased 85 % and 86%, respectively.Keywords: Biopsy, Fine-Needle, Thyroid GlandTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2002, 22:14-17
