“…On the other hand, mean values of karyometric features in NRG were similar to those observed in NPG, thus indicating that anisokaryosis, observed in smears from patients with NRG, does not necessarily imply a malignant lesion. The observed high variation in nuclear sizes of TFC in NRG may result from disturbed mechanisms of the neuroendocrine regulation of TFC growth processes after thyroidectomy 19,20 …”

The aim of the study was to examine whether evaluation of anisokaryosis is helpful in the cytological diagnosis of focal lesions in non-toxic recurrent goitre (NRG) after thyroidectomy for non-malignant goitre. Karyometric analysis was performed in routine cytological smears obtained from 80 females: 40 with focal lesions in non-toxic primary goitre (NPG) and 40 with NRG (postoperative histopathological examination revealed nodular goitre in both groups in all cases). We found that the level of anisokaryosis was significantly (P<0.005) higher in NRG than in NPG. There were no significant differences between the two lesions, in cellular composition or thyroid follicular cell arrangement. Thus, isolated anisokaryosis, a feature of malignancy in patients without a prior thyroidectomy, has limited diagnostic value in recurrent goitre.
