“…Medullary carcinoma is still relatively uncommon with only three (0.5%) cases identified in this study, which is in agreement with findings from two studies in Addis Ababa in which only one and two cases were found, Port-Harcourt, Nigeria (one case), Yemen (two cases) as well as reports from Pakistan (four cases). 7,14,20,28 Only one case of Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma was identified in this study (A 70-year-old male patient) which is in harmony with other reports of rare incidence of this disease entity. 21,22,24,29 Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of FNAC in this study are 71% and 92.7% respectively.…”

“…12 This picture is also found to be a consistent finding when compared to similar studies done in Uganda that showed NCG to be the commonest consisting of 90 (65.7%), Yemen 164 (63.1%) and Bangladesh 81 (75%) of the cases. 8,13,14 Thyroiditis is seen in twelve (2.1%) of the cases with a female to male ratio of 5:1 and a mean age at presentation of 34.8+11.4 with 8/581 (1.3%) of the overall thyroid lesions being chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis/Hashimotos thyroiditis. Two studies done in India show the frequency of Lymphocytic thyroiditis at 30 (2%) and 37 (1%) with a mean age of 40+10 which is in agreement with this study.…”

Introduction Thyroid diseases are major health problems that are manifested by alteration in hormone secretion, enlargement of the thyroid gland (goitre), or both. Identifying and characterizing lesions of the thyroid gland has a pivotal role since most of the lesions require medical or surgical management. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an important initial screening tool and histopathologic examination is the gold standard in the definitive diagnosis of thyroid disease. Objectives To assess histopathologic patterns and cytohistologic correlation of thyroid lesions among patients with thyroid biopsy. Methods A five-year retrospective study was conducted with a review of 581 biopsies submitted from thyroidectomy specimens at Jimma University Medical Centre (JUMC), Pathology Department from September 2015 to September 2020. This also includes a review of 286 cases in which fine needle aspiration was done prior to surgery. Data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Descriptive and analytic studies were done. Cross tabulation, chi square (χ2 ) test and logistic regression with multivariate analysis were done to look for associations between the study variables. Results Majority of thyroid lesions were found to be non-neoplastic and 149 (25.6%) were neoplastic. Colloid goitre was found in 417 (71.8%) cases. Adenoma, carcinoma, and thyroiditis accounted for 54 (9.3%), 95 (16.3%) and 12 (2.1%) cases respectively. Among 286 FNAC results, cyto-histologic correlation was achieved in 233 (86.6%) cases. Sensitivity and specificity of FNAC were 71% and 92.7% respectively, with diagnostic accuracy of 86.6%. Conclusion Nodular colloid goitre is by far the most common thyroid lesion and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequent histologic type of malignancy. FNAC remains a sensitive, specific and accurate tool in the evaluation and management of thyroid lesions.
