ABSTRACT
Background and Lesions of the thyroid and breast represent the two commonest sources of frozen section in Kuwait. This study investigates the value of intraoperative cytology [IC], preoperative fine needle aspiration cytology [FNAC] and intraoperative frozen section [FS], in improving the diagnostic accuracy of such lesions. Material:
Thirty-one breast masses and 45 thyroid lesions were included. In each case, diagnosis was established by [1] preoperative FNAC, [2] intraoperative IC and [3] FS. Their accuracy was compared to paraffin section diagnosis. Sensitivity of FNAC, IC and FS for breast malignancy was 82.6, 95.8 and 91.7%, respectively, while for thyroid malignancy sensitivity was 68.4, 85.0 and 65%, respectively. All three had 100% specificity and 0% false-positive rates. A 100% diagnostic accuracy was achieved by combined FNAC and IC in breast, and 93.3% with combined IC and FS in thyroid lesions. Intraoperative IC improves the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC and FS in breast and thyroid lesions
