We reviewed the files of 120 patients with thyroid malignant tumor treated in our department between July 1971 and December 1996. Clinical features, pathological diagnosis, radiographic findings, treatment and prognosis were studied. The number of patients treated gradually increased over time in both the otorhinolaryngology and surgery departments. Papillary carcinoma (n = 101) was the most common pathology, followed by follicular carcinoma (n = 16). Both 5- and 10-year survival rates were 92.7% for the entire group, 93.8% for cases of follicular carcinoma and 92.1% for cases of papillary carcinoma. Although thyroid tumor is undoubtedly one of the malignant head and neck tumors associated with an excellent prognosis, some patients remain resistant to cure in the long term. Some tumors are highly malignant and are difficult to control. The management of these patients is an important subject of future research.

Introduction Thyroid malignancy remains a significant global health concern, making the accurate differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid nodules crucial for optimal patient management. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the gold-standard preoperative diagnostic tool, and The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology provides a standardized framework for interpretation. This 10-year retrospective study evaluated the malignancy risk in surgically treated patients with thyroid nodules classified as Bethesda Category III by comparing FNAC findings with histopathological outcomes.
