Summary

A thyroid nodule is a discrete lesion within the thyroid gland that is radiologically distinct from the surrounding thyroid parenchyma. Most thyroid nodules are benign, with only 10% to 15% harboring cancer. This is a prospective study conducted at the department of Ear, Nose and Throat - Head and Neck Surgery (ENT-HNS) of Shree Birendra Hospital , a tertiary heath care centre of Nepal. Individuals visiting ENT-HNS outpatient department with thyroid nodules had undergone Ultrasonography (USG) of neck followed by Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) from the thyroid nodules. USG was reported by Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System(TIRADS) and FNAC by Bethesda system. Thereafter patients were planned either for surgery either total thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy. Post operative histopathology was correlated with preoperative FNAC and USG reports.
