Abstract

. Fine needle aspiration is the essential tool in evaluation of patients with a thyroid nodule. The Bethesda system for reporting Thyroid cytopathology proposed in 2007, is the result of a large amount of data gathered from many medical institutions and literature. Cytological reports are divided in six categories. Each of them implies a certain cancer risk and contains a recommendation for further management of patients. It is used in the USA and the majority of European countries with some national modifications. Our first experiences with Bethesda classification in thyroid cytology in 2015 are presented.
