| Core Tip |
To know the accuracy of preoperative examinations, we investigated the operated 36 follicular type tumors, according to the postoperative final pathological diagnosis. We also re-evaluate the operative indication and operative procedure. The true ratio of correct diagnosis of preoperative ultrasound, thallium-technecium scinitigram, computed tomography, or fine needle aspiration biopsy were 17/36 (47.2%), 16/36 (44.4%), 24/36 (66.7%), 21/36 (58.3%), respectively, and there were no statically differences between the accuracy of these preoperative diagnoses. The more than 30 mm in diameter tumors, which were suspected the malignancy in the one and more preoperative examinations, are present the malignancy in 11/36 (30.6%) cases by final pathological diagnosis. |
