Background: Thyroid lesions classified by The Bethesda system proposed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 1 is excellent for reporting thyroid fine needle aspiration and demonstrates that the additional category follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) on the diagnosis of follicular lesions helps in better classification of (FNAC).
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the department of pathology GMC Doda J&K India. Fine needle aspiration cytology is performed with the help of 21-22 gauge needle attached with 20 ml syringe and Franzens handle by taking all aseptic precautions. Total of 124cases were collected over a period of 2years and 11 months from January 2019 to November2021.
Results: Out of the total 124cases maximum were found in the age group of 31-45 years i.e. 55 cases followed by 15-30 cases by years. i.e.41cases .114 cases were females and 10 cases were males. Out of total 124 cases on diagnosis based on The thyroid Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytology it was found that majority of the cases were benign i.e. 85 of 124 cases.
Conclusion: FNA of thyroid is basically a technique that helps in differentiating lesions that require surgery from those that can be managed otherwise and it can be used as the initial modality in the evaluation of palpable thyroid nodules.
