Abstract
de Quervain's thyroiditis is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid that is rarely treated surgically. However when presentation is atypical and the FNAC is inconclusive or is suspicious for a malignancy, patients receive surgery putting them at a risk for morbidity. Good clinical assessment with combined use of ultrasound with FNAC especially read by an experienced cytopathologist has the potential to reduce unnecessary operative intervention.
