Abstract:
Aim: To compare the fine-needle non-aspiration cytology (FNNAC) with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in providing the adequate samples for the evaluation of thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 patients presenting with thyroid lesions at Standard Diagnostics Laboratory, Bangalore during period of Jan 2009 to October 2010, underwent both FNAC and FNNAC techniques. All the needle-sampling procedures were done by a single pathologist. The obtained samples were assessed for cytological evaluation based on sample adequacy, aspiration of blood, cellular features and possible diagnosis. Results: FNNAC produced less inadequate samples (20.9 %) than FNA (31.25%). Conclusion: The FNNAC is a better technique of sampling thyroid nodules and appears to produce more adequate specimen.
