Fine needle and open biopsy in thyroid disorders.

K Kolendorf, J B Hansen, L Engberg

    Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica
    |January 1, 1975

    Summary

    Cytological, serological, and scintigraphical tests show high sensitivity for thyroiditis and autoantibodies but low specificity for malignancy. Fine needle biopsy aids Hashimoto

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Accurate diagnosis of thyroid disorders is crucial for effective management.
    • Evaluating the diagnostic utility of various examination methods is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the diagnostic value of cytological, serological, and scintigraphical examinations in thyroid disorders.
    • To determine the predictive values of specificity and sensitivity for malignancy, thyroiditis, and autoantibodies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 20 histologically verified thyroid disorder cases.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy for cytological, serological, and scintigraphical tests.
    • Calculation of predictive values for specificity and sensitivity.

    Main Results:

    • Specificity for malignancy was 0%, while sensitivity was 88%.
    • Specificity for thyroiditis was 80% (sensitivity 100%), and for autoantibodies was 75% (sensitivity 94%).
    • 40% of cold nodules were malignant; fine needle biopsy aided Hashimoto's thyroiditis diagnosis but not malignant lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Cytological, serological, and scintigraphical tests have limitations in diagnosing malignant thyroid lesions.
    • Fine needle biopsy is valuable for Hashimoto's thyroiditis but not definitive for malignancy.
    • Surgical biopsy is recommended for suspected malignancy based on clinical or scintigraphical findings (cold nodules).
