| Introduction. The high prevalence of thyroid nodules combined with low incidence
of malignancy has created a need for an effective screening test. Thyroid fine needle
aspiration (FNA) has proved to be one of the most reliable although not perfect
preoperative methods for identifiying patients with thyroid disorders. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the results of thyroid FNA in speciemens refered to department of
pathology of Semnan medical school from 1991-1998.
Material and methods. After papanicola staining of previously fixed FNA glassy
slides, light microscopic studies were performed. Presence of at least six groups of
thyroid epithelial cells which each group composed of 15 to 20 cells was considered as
critria of specimen adequancy.
Results. 93 out of 240 received speciemen were satisfactory for microscopic
examination. 24 cases were diagnostic or suspecious for neoplastic lesions and in 67
cases diagnosis was suggestive for non neoplastic lesions.
Conclusion. Numbers of satisfactory speciemens for microscopic examination were
much lower than that of others medical centers |
