Abstract: Backgroundfine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is commonly used in evaluation of thyroid nodule. it provides specific diagnosis rapidly with minimal complications. FNA under ultrasound guided decreas complication and error. based on cytology findings surgeon can decides type of operation.
