Results: Out of 96 cases 75 cases were found as True positive (78.12%) correlating with FNAC and Biopsy reports. 2 cases were found as false positive (2.08%) 19 cases were found to be false negative (19.805) Conclusion: With the significant negativity 19.80% we cannot rely on FNAC alone and we have to consider clinical examination, FNAC and postoperative Biopsy all together for complete treatment of thyroid swellings.
