Goitre cytology

  • What are the cytological features of a nodular goiter?

    CYTOPATHOLOGIC FEATURES.
    Cytologic nomenclature of nodular goiter includes adenomatoid, cellular adenomatoid, adenomatous, hyperplastic, and non-neoplastic nodule.
    The aspirates from nodular goiter are of low to moderate cellularity..

  • What is a goiter?

    A goiter is used to describe any enlarged thyroid gland.
    The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck..

  • What is the histology of a goiter?

    Histologically, the initial stage of colloid goitre is cellular hyperplasia of the thyroid acini, followed by a micronodular and macronodular formation, which is often indistinguishable from normal thyroid parenchyma, even on histological examination.
    True thyroid epithelial cysts are rare..

  • Tests may include:

    1. Thyroid function tests.
      2. A blood sample can be used to measure the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the pituitary gland and how much thyroxine (T-4) and triiodothyronine (T-3) is produced by the thyroid.
    2. Antibody test
    3. Ultrasonography
    4. Radioactive iodine uptake
    5. Biopsy
  • Based on study findings, the usefulness of FNAC in case of thyroid swelling can be measured.
    Sensitivity of FNAC was 90 percent while specificity was 100 percent; accuracy was noted to be 98.88 percent.
    Predictive value of a positive test and negative tests was 100 percent and 98.75 percent respectively [Table 4].

Does serum thyroglobulin level determine a nodular goitre?

Serum thyroglobulin level has no role in the diagnosis of a nodular goitre

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the cornerstone in the assessment of pathology of the thyroid gland and thyroid nodules

Is goitre a common endocrine disorder?

Goitre or enlargement of the thyroid gland is still a common problem

It has been estimated by the WHO that about 15

8% of the world population have goitres

Nodular goitre is the commonest endocrine surgical disorder encountered world over

What is a colloid goitre?

2020 Oct;16 (2):131-135 doi: 10 17925/EE 2020 16 2 131 Epub 2020 Oct 6

Colloid goitres are a common, benign lesion of the thyroid gland, that involve a diffuse or nodular pattern

An important feature of colloid goitre is the contained colloid material inside and the comet-tail artefacts, which show up on ultrasound
