Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the role of fine-needle aspiration biopsy as a single parameter in determin-ing the extent of thyroidectomy and the necessity of routine use of frozen-section examination in patients with nodular thyroid disease. Patients and Methods: We revievved 67 patients (40 females, 27 males; mean age 44 years; range 17 to 78 years) who underwent thyroidectomy for nodular thyroid disease. Preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy and intraoperative frozen-section examination were per-formed in 46 patients and 40 patients, respectively. The results were compared with histopathologic diagnoses. Results: Histopathologically, 25 patients (37.3%) had malignant and 42 patients (62.7%) had benign disease. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy were 50%, 95%, and 77% for fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and 100%, 87%, and 91% for frozen-section examination, respectively. Conclusion: in view of lovver sensitivity and accuracy rates for fine-needle aspiration biopsy, the routine use of frozen-section examination seems to be necessary especially in cases with highly suggestive clinical findings of malignancy.

Özet

Amaç: Ameliyat öncesi ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi (İİAB) sonuçlarını tek parametre olarak kullanarak tiroidektominin genişliğine karar verilip verilemeyeceği ve frozen section incelemesinin her olguda rutin olarak gerekip gerekmediği araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya nodüler tiroit tnısıyla tiroidektomi ameliyatı yapılan ve ameliyat öncesinde ince iğne aspirasyonu (n=46) ve/veya ameliyat sırasında frozen section (n=40) sonuçlarına ulaşılabilen 67 hasta (40 kadın, 27 erkek; ort. yaş 44; dağılım 17-78) alındı. İki yöntemin sonuçlarıyla patolojik inceleme sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Histopatolojik sonuçlar 25 olguda (%37.3) malign, 42 olguda (%62.7) benign bulundu. İnce iğne aspirasyon biyopsisinin duyarlılığı %50, özgüllüğü %95, tanısal doğruluk oranı %77; frozen section incelemesinin duyarlılığı %100, özgüllüğü %87, tanısal doğruluğu %91 bulundu. Sonuç: Bulgularımız, İİAB'nin düşük duyarlılık ve tanısal doğruluk değerleri nedeniyle, klinik malignensi pa rametrelerinin dikkatle değerlendirilmesi ile birlikte rutin frozen section incelemesinin gerekli olduğunu göstermektedir.
