| Core Tip |
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether there was any correlation between clinical parameters and permanent pathology results among patients who underwent thyroid surgery. This study showed that no significant difference was found between the malign and benign groups with respect to age, sex, WBC, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, thrombocyte count, Width, Platelet Distribution Width, Mean Platelet Volume, Platecrit, nodule localization, and thyroid function tests. On the other hand, there were significant differences between the groups with respect to nodule size, cervical lymphadenopathy, nodular calcification, and ultrasonographic examination findings. Compared with the malignant group, the benign group had a significantly greater nodule size. The FNAB's sensitivity and specificity were 60% and 98%, respectively. |
