Thyroid nodules are a common clinical finding with a prevalence of around 50-67% in the general population using ultrasound examinations. Of these, malignancies account for 5-15% including the treatable papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas and the rarer but more aggressive medullary and undifferentiated thyroid cancers. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is a relatively simple, cost-effective recommended standard diagnostic procedure with high sensitivity and specificity for the preoperative evaluation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Cytopathology reports of thyroid FNA are categorized using a universal grading system, which helps to standardize reporting of diagnostic thyroid cytology results. In the non-diagnostic/unsatisfactory category (Bethesda I), ranging from 1% to 20% of samples, pathologists are unable to make a clinical diagnosis based on these samples due to an ina
