PREVALENCE OF BENIGN THYROID LESIONS AMONG ALL GOITRE AT TERTIARY CARE CENTRE GWALIOR

Abstract

Background: Thyroid gland is a specialized endocrine organ which has various functions in our body, and it is essential for our survival and metabolic functions. Thyroid hormone has various effects in catabolism of carbohydrate and lipid with synthesis of various proteins whose nal outcome is increased BMR. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is the commonly used diagnostic technique in thyroid lesions. FNAC of thyroid is the easiest, simple and economical method to assess the diagnosis. Our study is about the prevalence of benign thyroid lesion in all the goitre. To study the spectrum of Aims and Objectives: benign thyroid lesions among all the goitre. This is a 6 year retrospective study which was carried out in cytopat Material and methods: hology section in Department of Pathology from January 2013 to December 2018. Total 866 patients with palpable thyroid swellings were included in the study. The smears made from the aspirate were air dried and stained with May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) stain. Result: Benign lesions in goitre were more common in females. The average age group was found to be 35 years. Out of 866 cases most common thyroid lesion was Colloid goitre 60.97% (n=528), followed by Follicular Neoplasm 10.62% (n=92), Benign cystic lesion 9.47% (n=82) Hashimoto thyroiditis 8.54% (n=74), Malignant lesion 5.43% (n=47), Granulomatous thyroiditis 2.31% (n=20), Primary hyperplasia of thyroid 2.08% (n=18) and 0.58% (n=5) was unsatisfactory. Goitre Conclusion: is common in females than males. Colloid goitre is the commonest thyroid lesion. FNAC is almost an accurate technique for diagnosing thyroid lesions and probable accurate line of management.
