Compliance of Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy and Trucut Biopsy Results With TIRADS Score and Surgical Pathology

Compliance of Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy and Trucut Biopsy Results With Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System Score and Surgical Pathology

The investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 760 patients with thyroid nodule biopsy and 88 patients who had thyroid surgery. The investigators evaluated patients' thyroid ultrasonography reports and determined Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System scores (TIRADS score: 1-Benign, 2- very low malignant) risk, 3-low risk, 4-medium risk, 5 -malignant high risk). The investigators evaluated patients 'existing thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) reports and recorded the patients' cytology results (benign, malignant).

Documents of 88 patients who were included in the study and who underwent thyroidectomy were reviewed.Pathology reports of these patients were evaluated and surgical pathology was determined as benign in 58 patients and malignant in 30 patients.

Then, a statistical study was performed between the cor needle biopsy (CNB) results of these participants and the surgical pathology and TI-RADS scores.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Having a thyroid nodule
• Being both a thyroid needle and a core biopsy

Exclusion Criteria:
