Detailed explanation-1: -The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) is a significant step to standardize the reporting of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA). It has high predictive value, reproducibility, and improved clinical significance.
Detailed explanation-2: -VI. In this category, the cytopathologist sees all of the features necessary to make the diagnosis of malignancy. Patient with nodules in this category should undergo removal of the entire thyroid. The risk of malignancy is 97 to 99%.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid is the initial screening test for thyroid nodules. The Bethesda system classifies thyroid FNAC into six categories. Each category is linked to a malignancy risk and has a recommended clinical management.
Detailed explanation-4: -Category II-benign This category includes benign follicular nodule (adenomatoid nodule, colloid nodule), lymphocytic (Hashimotos) thyroiditis and granulomatous (subacute) thyroiditis. The benefit of thyroid FNA in these cases is when a reliably benign interpretation is done it avoids unnecessary surgery.
