Objective We report the results of a retrospective five-year study within a veteran population aimed at correlating abnormal thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosis with associated molecular testing to the histology of the surgical resection. Methods A retrospective analysis of abnormal thyroid FNAs with associated molecular testing and surgical outcome was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020. Aspirates were classified using the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology, including atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS), follicular neoplasm/suspicious for follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN), suspicious for malignancy (SM), and malignant.

Methods We collected patient data from 2014 to 2020 from our computerized patient record system. We performed HPV assays using the cobas® 4800 system (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland).
