Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a significant diagnostic procedure for detecting malignancy in patients with nodular thyroid disease. A high proportion of patients with cytological diagnosed follicular neoplasia (Bethesda IV and V) ultimately have thyroid cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of preoperatively undiagnosed central lymph node metastasis in patients with multinodular goiter (MNG).
