Introduction: The most prevalent endocrine cancer in the world is thyroid cancer, and its incidence is on the rise. The distinction between benign and malignant thyroid nodules must be made, which is why fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid lesion is necessary and required. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of thyroid malignancy among fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid lesions in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid lesions in a tertiary care centre after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Data from 13 April 2020 to 13 April 2023 was collected between 19 May 2023 to 19 June 2023. All the patients with complete hospital record data were included in this study. However, repetitive fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid lesion were excluded from the study. Fine needle aspiration cytology diagnoses were categorized in this study as per the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.
Results: Among 398 fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid lesions, thyroid malignancy was seen in 12 (3.02%) (1.34-4.70, 95% Confidence Interval) patients.
Conclusions: The prevalence of thyroid malignancy was found to be lower than other studies done in similar settings.
