ABSTRACT

Introduction: cytology is one of the study methods in Anatomic Pathology. It is an easy, fast, inexpensive procedure of great usefulness in the diagnosis of diseases, especially those related to the thyroid gland, for which it is considered to be the method of choice worldwide.
Objective: describe the types of cytopathologic lesions of the thyroid gland and some related variables.
Methods: an observational descriptive study was conducted of 72 patients from the endocrinology service at Benguela Central Hospital who underwent cytological examination of thyroid nodules from January 2012 to March 2013. The variables considered were histopathologic diagnosis, age and sex.
Results: the sample was composed of 70 patients aged 15-80 with a predominance of the female sex. Malignant neoplasm was found in 2.9 % of patients aged over 55. Suspiciously malignant lesions were found in 7.1 % of patients aged 31-45. There was a predominance of benign lesions (90 %), mainly goitre, in all age groups.
Conclusions: thyroid lesions appear early in life. The cytological diagnosis of goitre was predominant. Carcinoma was found in the over 59 age group. Overall morbidity was higher among female patients.
