Ramesh VL, Shwetha Ramu Department of Pathology, Basaveshwara Medical College and Hospital, Chitradurga, Karnataka, India Background: To study the various histomorphological types of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions of the thyroid and to correlate these with respect to age and sex.

Total thyroid malignancies reported by other studies range from 14 % to 31.91 %. Papillary carcinoma classic variant found was 9.16 %, follicular variant of papillary carcinoma reported was 5.83 %. Papillary carcinoma reported by other studies range from 7.44 % to 61.1 %. Medullary carcinoma constituted 5.16 %. Other study reported as 6.5 % of medullary carcinomas. Majority patients were between 3rd and 6th decade with female preponderence. Follicular adenoma was the most common pathological lesion. Commonest malignancy was the papillary carcinoma.
