Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this prospective study is to assess the effectiveness of frozen section in distinguishing between benign and malignant tumors in the category of follicular thyroid neoplasm to prevent over-surgery for benign follicular neoplasm (lobectomy Vs total thyroidectomy). The main questions, it aims to answer are: The follicular neoplasm is benign or malignent? how far is FNAC valid and accurate? Researchers will compare the results of frozen section and paraffin embedded sections to evaluate the validity and accuracy of FNAC.
