Abstract:Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) biopsy is a very effective method for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules, but only a few consensuses have been reached on the indications for FNAC of multiple thyroid nodules according to various guidelines. Thus, there are still a lot of unresolved issues associated with FNAC of multiple thyroid nodules in clinical practice including: how to determine the nodules with indications for FNAC from multiple thyroid nodules; which to choose when multiple nodules are indicative of a need for FNAC; whether all samples require further gene detection if multiple modules are evaluated with FNAC; what to do next when the results of FNAC and ultrasound are inconsistent; and how to make clinical decisions when the results of FNAC indicate follicular neoplasm. This article discusses corresponding strategies for these five common clinical dilemmas based on the literatures and specific conditions in our country.
