Aspiration and non-aspiration technique in the study of thyroid gland lesion cytology

Abstract: Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology is used as a primary diagnostic tool in thyroid lesions. But the bloody smears caused by negative pressure during aspiration compromise cellular concentration and cell morphology which may lead to its improper interpretation. FNNAC avoids active aspiration and depends on capillary tension to collect tissue sample in the needle bore, thus reducing bleeding and tissue trauma to the highly vascular thyroid. Material and Methods: This is a one year prospective study wher… Show more

“…Contrary to expected, the method did not affect thyroid‐related serum parameters including TG levels 23 . However, in accordance with other literature data, we think that one of the reasons for the lower percentage of patients with increased TG in our study compared to some previous studies might be that we have used the FNC technique which causes less trauma to the tissue 13,38,39 …”

“…23 However, in accordance with other literature data, we think that one of the reasons for the lower percentage of patients with increased TG in our study compared to some previous studies might be that we have used the FNC technique which causes less trauma to the tissue. 13,38,39 None of the previous studies evaluating TG increase after FNB of thyroid nodules could establish a relationship between TG increase and cytology results. 29 On the other hand, in the LN study conducted Hong et al, 8 of 10 patients with malignant cytology, 1 of 9 patients with benign cytology and 1 of 3 patients with cellulary atypia cytology have increased TG.…”
