<br/><br/> Fine needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid gland is commonly considered the most accurate and cost effective diagnostic procedure.It is a minimally invasive procedure that plays a vital role planning the management of the thyroid nodules.However,the main limition of FNAC is inability to distinguish follicular adenoma from well differentiated follicular carcinoma, as the distinction is based on histological rather than cytological criteria
