Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), age, central compartment lymph node metastasis (CLNM), gender, nodular size, and invasive status were different clinicopathological factors recorded. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: The overall mean age was 42.84±10.8 years. Out of 486 patients, Group-I had 76 (15.6%) patients whereas Group-II had 410 (84.4%) patients. There were 52 (10.7%) male and 434 (89.3%) females. The incidence of final diagnosis of benign thyroid nodule and PTC was 53.9% (n=262) and 46.1% (n=224) respectively.
