Aim: Atypia/follicular lesion of undetermined significance(AUS/FLUS) is a category of thyroid cytology with features that are neither definitely benign or malignant. We aimed to determine whether specific cytologic or architectural features are associated with malignancy in AUS/FLUS category of Bethesda system according to subgroups.Methods: The specimens of patients who underwent surgery with preoperative thyroid fine neeedle aspiration (FNA) biopsies o...

Introduction: Although malignancy rate is low in thyroid nodules with nondiagnostic (ND) cytology, it is reported as higher in persistent ND nodules. We aimed to determine the role of ultrasonography (US) features and Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) in the prediction of malignancy in patients with persistent ND cytology.Methods: 246 patients who underwent thyroidectomy with an indication of at least two ND cytologies were included in t...

IntroductionThyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy and its overall incidence has increased significantly in the last 30 years. Cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYA) is defined by the National Cancer Institute as diagnoses occurring among those aged 15 to 39 years. Thyroid cancer is the second most common cancer in the AYA population. In this study, we aimed to compare clinical, ultrasonographical, cytological and histopathological ...

BackgroundOur aim was to compare the effectiveness of five different risk-stratification systems using the ultrasonographical features of thyroid nodules in determining malignant histopathology.MethodsThe preoperative ultrasonography (US) features of 6925 nodules of 3030 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between 2007 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The nodules were classified according to Kwak-TIRA...
