Abstract EN
Background : this study investigates and analyses the thyroid nodules in bahrain, and correlates the diagnosis of cytopathology with a subsequent excision histopathology.
materials & methods : we conducted a retrospective study for all thyroid cases diagnosed at the Sal¬maniya Medical Complex during a 7-year period (January 2013 to December 2019).
results : a total of 1218 thyroid nodules were diagnosed during the study period.
among them, 1,037 (85%) of the patients were females and 181 were males (15%), with an average age of 48.2 years.
sur¬gical excision was performed on 263 out of 1,037 (25%) of the cases.
conclusions : the study revealed that the prevalence of thyroid nodules is higher among females.
the most common nodules are benign multinodular goiters.
a statistically significant correlation was observed between fine needle aspiration cytology (FNA) and surgical excision of the thyroid nodule.
