«HistoGen» Armenian-German Scientific-Practical Center of Pathology performs Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid gland, followed by a cytological examination, under sonographic control.

Fine needle aspiration of the thyroid gland is a reliable diagnostic method for the detection of various pathologies of the thyroid gland – benign and malignant neoplasms, as well as non-neoplastic conditions.

The intervention is painless, without further complications. Under sonographic control, a fine-needle aspiration is performed from a suspicious node, after which the resulting sample is smeared on a glass slide, fixed with alcohol or special fixatives, and stained by special cytological staining methods. Cytological evaluation is carried out in accordance with the Bethesda system. The lesion is classified into 6 classes, each of which indicates the risk of malignancy of the formation and determines further management tactics.
