Aim(s) To elucidate the clinical presentation of thyroid swelling and to assess the Clinico – cytological correlation of thyroid swellings Objective(s) 1. To assess the efcacy of FNAC in thyroid diseases. 2. To study the clinical presentations of thyroid lesions with its cytological correlation Material and method :The present study was a prospective study carried out in the Department of Pathology, karwar institute of medical sciences, karwar, karnataka (India), on both indoor and outdoor patient requiring FNAC of the thyroid lesions between May 2022 to October 2022 with 60 sample size. Results 1) Swelling in front of neck was the most common symptoms followed by pain 2) Swelling40(66.6%), cases were goiter under evaluation/ multinodular goiter 3) Colloid goiter was diagnosed in 35cases (58.3%). Conclusion FNAC is a safe and simple technique of preoperative diagnosis with a sensitivity rate was 96.6% with a specicity rate of 98.3%. Our results also showed a PPV of 98.3% anda NPV of 96.6%.

Skin biopsies from clinically suspected lesions are collected, xed,processed and stained with H and E ,followed by Fite ferraco stain . Histopathological diagnosis is classied as per Ridley-jopling classication. Out of 30 cases studied Results:,highest incidence was found in the age group 20 to 30. Males showing larger in number then females. Common clinical presentation being loss of sensation and histopathologically borderline lepromatous showing higher in frequency followed by lepromatous leprosy.In total Fite ferraco staining showing positivity with 50%.
