dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has begun playing an important role in the evaluation of thyroid nodules, in addition to physical examination and imaging techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of patients who underwent thyroid FNAB together with their demographic data, imaging findings, and follow-up compliance. Methods: Patients who underwent thyroid FNAB procedures in our hospital’s interventional radiology unit between January 2022 and May 2024 were evaluated retrospectively. Data were retrieved from patient records. Cytological results were classified as malignant, atypia of undetermined significance, benign, and non-diagnostic material. Results: Two hundred twelve solid nodules were detected in the patients who underwent biopsy, and 59 mixed nodules with a cystic component. Non-diagnostic material was reported in 51 cases at cytological examination, benign cytology in 150, atypia of undetermined significance in 53, and malignant material in 17. The incidence of non-diagnostic results was significantly higher in hypoechoic nodules and low-volume nodules. Conclusions: Thyroid FNAB is a valuable diagnostic tool due to its ease of application and provision of useful information in benign-malignant differentiation. Once it becomes capable of application by primary physicians and local state hospitals in Türkiye it will reduce delayed diagnoses, unnecessary surgical procedures, and economic burdens on social security institutions.
