Introduction: Ultrasound is the main diagnostic tool for imaging pathology of the thyroid gland. The TI-RADS classification allows the evaluation of a risk of malignancy in the case of thyroid nodules, indicating the need to perform a puncture for a histological study. Bethesda system classifies them according to the cytological malignancy risk. Bethesda category 3 (B3) comprises ‘follicular lesion of undetermined significance’ or ‘atypia of undetermined signifi...

Introduction: Thyroid ultrasound is the main technique to study this gland’s pathology. ACR TI-RADS system evaluates the malignancy risk in thyroid nodules according to their sonographic features and stablishes the size in which to perform fine needle aspiration (FNA) for its cytological study. Nodules diagnosed as Bethesda category 4 (B4) means are follicular neoplasms or suspicious for follicular neoplasms.Aim: Determine the pathology diagnosis o...

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are a very common finding in sonographies (20–75% people). Criteria for clinical management and for cytological diagnosis (-Bethesda system) are well standardized. In spite of this, a gap of knowledge exists as far as management of Bethesda 4 is concerned.Aim: Evaluate the clinical approach of Bethesda 4 (B4) result in a thyroid cytology.Material and Methods: Retrospective study of thyroid nodule...
