OBJECTIVE: Thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and cytology is a reliable diagnostic method used in the assessment of malignancy when evaluating thyroid nodules, in conjunction with clinical and ultrasonographic findings. The aim of this study is to compare clinical, ultrasonographic, cytological and histopathological findings in children who underwent thyroid FNA.
METHODS: Subjects comprised 80 patients (52 female) aged 13.7±2.8 years at the time of FNA who where evaluated for thyroid nodules. Clinical, ultrasonographic and cytological findings of patients were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS: Autoimmune thyroiditis was present in 30% and history of radiotherapy to the head or neck in 10%. The cytological diagnosis of patients included: inadequate or hemorrhagic sample in 10%; benign in 42.5%; atypia or follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) in 15%; suspicion of follicular neoplasia (SFN) in 7.5%; suspicion of malignancy (SM) in 8.8%; and malignant in 16.3%. Thirty-seven patients underwent thyroidectomy. Malignancy rates for histopathologic follow-up were 75%, 85.7% and 100% for SFN, SM and malignant categories, respectively. Only one benign and two AUS/FLUS FNAs were found to be malignant on histopathological examination. Among patients who had received radioiodinetherapy, 87.5% had malignancy. In this study, the sensitivity of FNA was 96%, specificity 50%, positive predictive value 90.9%, negative predictive value 75%, and diagnostic value of FNA was 89.2%.
CONCLUSION: Thyroid FNA results were highly compatible with histopathological examination. Sensitivity, positive predictive value and diagnostic value of FNA were high.
