Repetition of thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology after an initial nondiagnostic result: Is there an optimal timing?
Introduction
It is suggested to wait at least 3 months to repeat a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to avoid possible inflammatory cytological changes induced by a previous procedure. This study evaluated the influence of the interval between 2 FNACs in a cohort with a previous non-diagnostic (ND) FNAC. We analysed the occurrence of ND or atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) results in the second FNAC, based on the intervals between procedures.
Patients and methods
Retrospective study (2017–2020) including thyroid nodules with a ND result, subjected to another FNAC. Demographic, clinical and echographic data, interval between FNACs and their results were collected. We considered the intervals: ≤/>3 months and ≤/>6 months. Second FNAC results were classified as ND, AUS/FLUS or diagnostic (including the other Bethesda categories).
Results
Included 190 nodules (190 patients – 82.1% women, mean age 60 ± 13.7 years) with a first ND FNAC. The second FNAC results were: ND in 63 cases, AUS/FLUS in 9 and diagnostic in 118 cases. There were no statistical differences in FNAC results performed ≤ 3 months (13 ND, 2 AUS/FLUS, 19 diagnostic) vs >3 months (50 ND, 7 AUS/FLUS, 99 diagnostic; p = 0.71). Similarly, there were no statistical differences considering a longer time interval: ≤6 months (32 ND, 3 AUS/FLUS, 59 diagnostic) vs >6 months (31 ND, 6 AUS/FLUS, 59 diagnostic; p = 0.61).
Conclusions
Time interval between FNACs was not relevant to the final cytological result. Early FNAC repetition did not increase the cases of ND or AUS/FLUS.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954. The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines. It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories. The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published. The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor. Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
