Background: This study was conducted for the Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules in Patients with Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy.Material and Methods: A total of 100 subjects were included in this study. An assessment was conducted on the age, gender, thyroid FNA cytology, operation type, and histopathology of all the patients. Subjects over 16 years of age took part in the study. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software.Results:The pathology results revealed that adenomatous nodular hyperplasia was the predominant disease, accounting for 53% (n=53) of cases. Papillary carcinoma was occurred in 5% (n=5) of cases. Adenomatous nodule, follicular adenoma, follicular variant of papillary carcinoma, and follicular carcinoma accounted for 12% (n=12), 24% (n=24), 1% (n=1), and 1% (n=1) of cases, respectively. While 89% of the patients had a benign diagnosis, 9% were classified as suspicious, and 2% were deemed malignant in the FNAB procedure. Out of 9 cases found to be malignant on FNAB, histopathology diagnosis confirmed malignancy in 7 cases. Out of 89 cases confirmed to be benign on FNAC, histopathology confirmed presence of benign pathology in all the 89 cases. Conclusion: Ultimately, this study underscored the significance of FNA findings and their role in guiding surgical decision-making. It emphasized that the likelihood of malignancy in the final histopathology report after surgery is greater, particularly when worrisome FNAC results are present.
