Abstract

A prospective analytic study was carried out in East Surgical Unit of Mayo Hospital Lahore during the year 2000 to correlate the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC to the clinical and histopathological diagnosis in cases of solitary thyroid nodules. Total numbers of patients were 100 with the male to female ratio of 13.6:3. The mean age was 38 with the predominantly involvement of left side (69%). The diagnostic accuracy of FNAC to clinical diagnosis was 77% and the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC to the histopathological diagnosis was 93%. The sensitivity of FNAC was 90.8% and specificity of FNAC was 95.1%-.
