Abstract

This study of 100 cases was carried out at surgical unit of Mayo Hospital Lahore to evaluate the pattern of thyroid disease ¡n none—toxic solitary thyroid nodule over the period of two years (December. 1995 to November1997). The male to female ratio was 1:10. The study consisted of only those cases where Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and biopsy both were done. Eighty three (83%), cases confirmed on FNAC were proved by histopathology except 2 (2.40%). Four cases (4%) reported on FNAC as “Malignant cell seen” were confirmed on histopathology as malignant, predominantly papillary cell carcinoma (62.5%). Out of benign lesions 60 (65.21%) were follicular adenomas, 28 (30.43%) colloid nodules, 03 (326%) degenerative cyst and 01 (1.08%) parathyroid adenoma.
