The diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was evaluated in thyroid nodules in 100 consecutive cases , who subsequently underwent thyroidectomy between the years 1989-1991. FNAC as a diagnostic test for thyroid nodules demonstrated an accuracy of 90.9%, a sensitivity of 76.5%,
