“…Thyroid lesions occurred predominately in females with M: F ratio 1: 6.93. Similar observations of female predominance were made by Afroz N et al 17 and Jain D 18 et al In present study, most of the thyroid lesions were benign which were comparable with other studies such as Kishor H et al, 19 M Kate et al 20 and R Goswami et al 21 studies. Total 71.03% of thyroid lesions were consisting of colloid goiter which includes 13 cases of multinodular goiter and remaining 139 cases were colloid goiter.…”

Introduction: Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of neck masses is a quick, easy, safe and cheap technique and has been a well accepted procedure in diagnosing various swellings. In head and neck regions FNAC is widely used such as in the lymph nodes, thyroid, salivary glands and other neoplasms. Aims and Objectives: 1.To evaluates the role of FNAC and its utility in diagnosis of palpable head and neck masses; 2. To study the spectrum of head and neck lesions in rural population; 3. To study diagnostic accuracy of FNAC by histopathological correlation wherever possible. Materials and Methods:The present study includes 706 cases of palpable head and neck swelling in department of pathology of tertiary care centre from January 2016 to June 2017. Aspiration was done and cytological diagnosis was given. Cytohistopathological correlations were done wherever possible. Result: Total 706 patients of palpable head and neck lesions studied out of that lymph node (33.00%) was common site followed by, thyroid lesion (30.31%), miscellaneous (22.80%) and salivary gland (13.88). Most common nonneoplastic, benign neoplastic and malignant neoplastic lesion is reactive lymphadenitis, colloid goiter of thyroid and metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma in lymphnode respectively. Accuracy rate of FNAC in 70 cases which are correlated with histopathological examination was 95.71% with sensitivity and specificity of 78.57% and 100% respectively. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology is simple, rapid and safe diagnostic tool with accuracy of 95.71% for differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions of palpable head and neck region.

“…In present study most of the lesion in thyroid was Goiter (43.75%) followed by benign follicular lesions (31.75%) cases, followed by follicular neoplasm (18.75%). Goiter is the commonest thyroid gland lesion in study done by Sanghvi et al (2018) comparable to our study.In present study, most of the thyroid lesions were benign which were comparable with other studies such as Suryawansh et al (2015) Kate et al(2015) and Goswami et al (2016) studies. Female preponderance in various thyroid lesions is comparatively well observed in present study.…”

FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) is a well accepted technique for head and neck lesions. It is a safe and inexpensive outdoor procedure. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, quick and cost effective method and plays an important role in early diagnosis of superficial masses found in the head and neck region. It is to assess the frequency and incidence of different sites, age, sex and according to the lesions being inflammatory, benign and malignant. A retrospective study among 110 patients was conducted at GMERS Medical College and Hospital, Dharpur-Patan Gujarat from January 2021 to March 2023. Patients between the ages of 5 years to 75 years were taken into the study. Fine needle aspiration cytomorhological diagnosis was correlated with detailed clinical findings and investigations. Out of 110 fine needle aspiration procedures 67.28 % (74 cases) were of lymph node, 14.54% (16 cases) were of thyroid, 7.27% from salivary gland(08 cases) and 10.91% (12 cases) from miscellaneous swellings. Out of total 110 lesions, 60(54.54%) were inflammatory, 35 (31.82%) benign and 15 (13.65%) were malignant. From the present study we concluded that FNAC is excellent, fast, inexpensive and minimally invasive first line investigation for differential diagnosis of head and neck masses. Also combination of fine needle aspiration cytology with acid fast staining is very much helpful for routine diagnosis of tuberculosis.

“…[7,16,17] shows the comparison of the present study with other studies on the basis of the distribution of head and neck lesions. It is noted that maximum aspirates are from lymph nodes in head and neck lesions, followed by Skin and Soft tissue, thyroid, and salivary gland lesions.…”

Introduction: FNAC is particularly suitable in the head and neck areas due to its easy accessibility of target sites, minimally invasive nature, excellent patient compliance, and helping of avoidance of surgery in conditions like non-neoplastic, inflammatory, and some tumors. Aim: To assess the prevalence of different types of head and neck lesions and to test the utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of head and neck lesions. Material and Methods: A retrospective study of 224 FNAC of head and neck swellings performed as an outdoor procedure from Jan 2018 to June 2019 at the American International Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), GBH General and cancer hospital, Udaipur, Rajasthan. Results: Out of 224 cases, major aspirates were from lymph node 123 (54.91%), followed by skin and soft tissue 42 (18.75%), thyroid 40 (17.85%), salivary gland 13 (5.80%), and Oral cavity 06 (2.67%). Malignant lesions were higher in lymph node 69 (56.09%) and in oral cavity 05 (83.33%). Metastatic carcinoma 66 (53.65%) and lymphoma 03 (2.43%). Colloid goiter 24 (60%), keratinous cyst 27 (64.28%), and Pleomorphic adenoma 04 (30.76%) were common benign lesions in the thyroid, skin and soft tissue, and salivary gland respectively. Conclusions: FNAC can be effectively used in the diagnosis and planning management of various head and neck swellings because it is safe, relatively painless, rapid, outdoor procedure and can differentiate benign from malignant lesions and gives clues for occult primaries in metastatic malignancy.
