Thyroid nodule is a common clinical finding. In the past two decades, the widespread use of ultrasonography for evaluation of thyroid and non-thyroid neck diseases has increased the detection rate and prevalence of thyroid nodules. It is widely accepted that Sonography and ultrasound guided FNA Cytology are the modalities of choice for comparison of benign and malignant nodules. Current research aimed to study the role of Ultrasonography to differentiate benign and malignant thyroid nodules in correlation with Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology in a teaching hospital. Material and Methods: This was a prospective hospital based study, done over a period of one year. A total of 120 cases were studied. USG examination of thyroid was done for all the patients presenting with anterior neck swellings and /or thyroid nodules followed by FNAC. Results: The patient age ranged from 10 to 75 years and the male to female ratio was 1:2. On ultrasound neck 120 were reported as benign, 10 (8.57%) were reported as malignant. On cytopathology a total of 115 cases (95.8%) were diagnosed as benign lesions and 05 (4.1%) were reported as malignancy. Conclusion: Lesions of the thyroid are common in the general population and middle-aged females are more often affected than males. Benign lesions outnumber the malignant lesions. Well defined margins, predominantly solid texture, absence of microcalcification, hyperechoiec and isoechoiec lesions, wider-than-taller lesions and presence of peripheral halo are pointers towards benign pathology. USG findings of thyroid correlate well with the cytopathological diagnosis.
