AbstractIntroduction: It is critical that cytopathologists should communicate thyroid FNA interpretations to referring physicians in terms that are succinct, unambiguous, and clinically helpful. Historically, terminology for thyroid FNA has varied significantly from one laboratory to another, creating confusion in some cases and hindering the sharing of clinically meaningful data among multiple institutions. Methodology: Patients with thyroid lesions referred to the Department of Pathology, Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre for FNAC and histopathological evaluation were taken. Results: Total no of benign follicular lesion were 82 .Out of which 11 were Adenomatoidgoiter, 56 were MNG (colloid nodule), Lymphocytic (Hashimotos thyroiditis) were 14 and 1 case was Granulomatous thyroiditis. Conclusion: Histopathological follow up was available in 56 cases, out of which 50 cases were reported as benign thyroid lesion. Follicular carcinoma and malignant tumors were reported in 2 cases each.
