Risk of malignancy in non-diagnostic thyroid fine needle aspiration Cytology
Keywords:
Thyroid nodule, Thyroid cancer, Fine needle aspiration cytology, ThyroidectomyAbstract
This research to study the incidence and risk of malignancy in patients with ND-FNAC. A cross-sectional study, data were collected from medical records of patients with thyroid nodules who underwent thyroidectomy and FNAC in Kalasin Hospital, 6 years from 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2023, were retrospective analyzed.
Result : A total of 224 patients who underwent thyroidectomy and FNAC, non-diagnostic occurred in 47 (20.98%). Malignancy was detected in 9 of 47 patients (19.15%). Multiple thyroid nodules were cancer in 4 of 9 patients (ROM 44.44%), which was significantly higher than patients with a single nodule (ROM 13.16%), p-value 0.043, 95% CI 1.0651-41.2262, Odd ratio 6.63, While other factors include age, gender, thyroid hormone status, consistency, duration, size, and location of the nodule were not statistically significant.
