    • To evaluate the reliability and safety of thyroid needle biopsy.
    • To assess the long-term diagnostic accuracy and outcomes.
    • To emphasize the importance of pathologist-clinician collaboration.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of thyroid needle biopsy cases over a 20-year period.
    • Analysis of diagnostic success rates and procedure safety.
    • Evaluation of the impact of pathologist experience and clinical liaison.

    Main Results:

    • Thyroid needle biopsy demonstrated a diagnostic reliability exceeding 90%.
    • The procedure was found to be safe, with minimal risk of disease dissemination or compromised prognosis.
    • Effective collaboration between pathologists and clinicians enhanced diagnostic evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Thyroid needle biopsy is a dependable and safe diagnostic tool.
    • Experience significantly influences the success of the procedure.
    • Close clinical-pathologic correlation is essential for optimal thyroid nodule assessment.
