CORA ABRAHAM, Jesús; ORTEGA PENATE, Juan Alberto y DIAZ ALFONSO, Osmar. Follicular thyroid neoplasia. Cytopathological correlations. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.1, pp. 2739-2747. Epub 28-Feb-2021. ISSN 1684-1824.
Introduction:
fine needle cytology is still the main study against a thyroidal nodule, but the follicular neoplasia diagnosis is still its weak point to define it. The surgical removal keeps being used to reach it.
Objective:
to determine the cytopathological correlation in follicular thyroid neoplasia.
Materials and methods:
a prospective, descriptive study was carried out including 80 patient with diagnosis of follicular thyroid neoplasia in the Hospital “Comandante Faustino Pérez” of Matanzas, who underwent a surgery from March 2012 to February 2016. The assessed variables were age, sex, size, location, quantity of nodes and final histological diagnosis.
Results:
benign lesions predominated, with 56 for 70 %; among them, multinodular goiters with 33.75 % and follicular adenomas with 31.25 %. Malignant tumors were 30 %: papillary carcinoma, follicular variety with 12 for 15 %, followed by the classical papillary carcinoma with 10 for 12.50 %
Conclusions:
the malignity percent of this study was 30 % with the predominance of the papillary carcinoma, follicular variant and the classic papillary carcinoma. Multinodular goiters and follicular adenomas predominated among the benign lesions.
