AB  - Aims: To evaluate the diagnostic success of thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) across different age and gender groups, and to investigate the effect of aging and sex-related variables on biopsy adequacy.Methods: This retrospective study included 486 patients who underwent thyroid FNAB between 2022 and 2024. Patients were stratified into two age groups (
KW  - Thyroid nodule
KW  - biopsy
KW  - fine-needle
