Objective: The objective for this study is to investigate the efficiency of ultrasonography guided fine-needle aspiration biopsies on thyroid nodules. Methods: The study population consisted of 929 ultrasonography guided thyroid nodule biopsies in 831 patients. The cytological results were classified as benign, suspicious for malignancy, malignant and inadequate material. The ultrasonography results are registered by designated criterias.Results: Cytological results were reported as 781 (% 84.1) benign nodules, 35 (%3.8) malignant suspicious nodules, 21 (% 2.3) malignant nodules and 92 (% 9.9) inadequate materials. Patients with malignant thyroid nodules were evaluated and there was no statistically significant difference found in age, gender, number and sonographic features of nodules (p gt;0.05).Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a functional and reliable diagnosing method. Complications of the procedure, such as hematoma or pain, are rare. The use of US guidance is necessary to define the correct side of semisolid thyroid lesions and helpful to obtain adequate sample from nodules. Fine needle aspiration biopsy has become the gold standard to diagnose thyroid nodules
