Ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) was performed on 268 thyroid nodules (135 palpable, 133 nonpalpable) in 210 patients with various thyroid conditions; 62 nodules also had palpation-guided FNA. Surgical pathology was obtained in 67 malignant nodules and 32 benign nodules. Al
## BACKGROUND. We reviewed the Massachusetts General Hospital experience with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs) of the thyroid to determine the indications, rate of unsatisfactory smears, correlation with excisional biopsy results, and verification of efficient use of perso
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%,
