Background: Thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland to develop, largest of all endocrine glands. Superficial location of thyroid gland allows evaluation of thyroid lesions by FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology). Aims and Objective: To study cytological profile of thyroid lesions and correlate the results with Ultrasonography findings and clinical features. Material and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 138 patients who came to the department from period of May 2012 to December 2014. Out of these 138 patients USG was carried out in 115 patients. FNAC of patients was performed and results of FNAC were correlated with those of USG reports and clinical features of the patient. Results: Out of 138 cases 83 (60.1%) cases were benign, 18(13.0%) cases were inflammatory, 2 (1.4%) cases were malignant, 28 (20.3%) were categorised as indeterminate, and 7 (5.1%) cases were inadequate. All the 2 malignant cases were given as neoplastic on USG. Conclusion: FNAC is the main diagnostic modality of choice for thyroid lesions, along with Ultrasonography and clinical examination it helps to come to the proper diagnosis.
