Abstract
Background- Thyroid swellings are commonly investigated in cytology section and its uniform reporting
to convey a decision making diagnosis to clinician is important, hence this study is done to compare
conventional and Bathesda system for thyroid cytology reporting. A Prospective study on 100 pati Methodology – ents done who
came for thyroid ne needle aspiration cytology. Aspiration done and smears prepared and reporting is done by Bathesda
system as well as by conventional system and compared for its accuracy and uniformity. Results: The mean age of presentation
of patients in present study is 38.06years. Out of 100 cases, 78 were females and 22 males. The ratio of Non neoplastic and
Neoplastic lesion was 2.7:1 by Bethesda system and 3.0:1 by Conventional system. It was observed that, introduction of the new
simplied Bethesda thyroid reporting system into six categories logically relates to the prognosis of thyroid diseases and may
increase the reproducibility of diagnosis. Each diagnostic category conveys specic risks of malignancy, which offers guidance
for patient management. Bethesda system of reporting can effectively determine which patient needed Conclusion: surgery/
follow-up. Bethesda system may be used as national standardized terminology for thyroid FNAC reporting
