ABSTRACT:
Background: Solitary thyroid nodule is defined as presence of a palpable nodule in otherwise normal thyroid gland. Solitary nodules are one of the commonest presentations of thyroid disorder.
Aims and objectives: To study the age and sex incidence and other clinical parameters of solitary thyroid nodules and to correlate between fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathological examination of solitary nodule thyroid.
Material and methods: A prospective study had been carried out from November 2012 to October 2014, in the Otorhinolaryngology department, of Hi-tech Medical College & Hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Fifty patients, who presented with confirmed solitary thyroid swelling and underwent some form of thyroid surgery were included in this study. Complete history was taken and full clinical examination was carried out.
Results: Majority of the patients were between 30-49 years of age. Female:male ratio was about 9:1. Swelling in front and lateral side of neck was the most common presentation. Most common solitary thyroid swelling was colloid goiter. Commonest surgery performed was hemithyroidectomy.
Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was the first investigation of choice. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is easy, cheap, highly sensitive and specific method to diagnose lesions of solitary thyroid nodule.
KEYWORDS: Solitary nodule thyroid; fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC); thyrid nodule histopathological examination.
