Overview

Case report reveals malignant cystic thyroid nodules in two patients, suggesting limitations of ultrasound and FNAC in diagnosis.

Key Points

  • To highlight the occurrence of malignancy in cystic thyroid nodules typically deemed benign.
  • Presented two case reports of patients with cystic thyroid nodules who underwent thyroidectomy.
  • Performed fine-needle aspiration biopsy and ultrasound for diagnostic evaluation.
  • Conducted pathological examinations post-surgery to identify malignancy.
  • Both patients had malignant nodules confirmed as follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma.
  • Fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed limitations in detecting cancer in cystic nodules.
  • Clinical awareness of potential malignancy in cystic thyroid nodules is emphasized.
