Correlation between cytological and histological findings in patients who underwent thyroidectomy. Predictive value and confounders. Our experience.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that we need more studies to evaluate real BSRTC predictive value in single centers. Meanwhile we found out that thyroiditis may be a confounding factor in cytological examination wich would lead to an overstating of thyroid nodules.
