Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Nodules were included in this retrospective study if they had undergone surgery, definitive diagnostic cytologic findings of benignity or malignancy at US-guided FNA, or inconclusive cytologic findings at initial US-guided FNA but definitive cytologic findings of benignity or malignancy at follow-up US-guided FNA.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were aspiration of cysts for symptom relief of typically benign thyroid cysts or for diagnosis of perithyroidal lesions such as parathyroid cysts, thyroglossal duct cysts, or other cystic masses arising in the cervical region; maximal diameter less than 10mm; nonmass forming lesions; and inadequate follow-up because nodules were lost to follow-up after inconclusive diagnostic cytologic findings (eg, nondiagnostic, atypia of undetermined significance and/or follicular lesion of undetermined significance, follicular neoplasm or suspicious for follicular neoplasm, or suspicious for malignancy)
