Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role and utility of preoperative cytology in differentiating between benign and malignant nodules of the thyroid. We retrospectively reviewed and compared the preoperative cytologies with histopathologic diagnoses of 66 nodules. In experienced hands, the average sensitivity for cancer detection is 90 to 95% and its specificity 65 to 75%. In our study these are 62.5% and 100% respectively. In conclusion, prepoperative cytologie examination can help to discriminate benign and malignant nodules of thyroid.
