Abstract

The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology was formalized in 2007 to stratify cytologic specimens based on their risk of malignancy. Several studies have reported significant variations between their institutional rate of malignancy compared to the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. The objective of this study was to determine the national rate of malignancy for Bethesda III, Bethesda IV, and Bethesda V thyroid nodules.
