Materials and methods: This study evaluate the information from 46 thyroidectomy specimens received from october2018 to April 2019 at the Department of cytology, Al-khansaa teaching hospital and laboratory of Mohammed Abdul–Aziz Hayawi. Results: among these 38(82.60%) were from females and 8 (17.39%) were from males with male to female ratio 1:4.5 .The patients age ranged from 1 to 70 years . The large number of lesions are non-neoplastic, found 82.60% (n=38) cases and neoplastic lesions found 17.39% (n=8) cases. Non toxic goiter was the majority lesion approximately 68.42% of all non-neoplastic lesions and about 56.5% of all thyroid lesions. Among other non-neoplastic lesions 5 patients of thyroiditis and three patients of thyroglossal duct cyst were showed. There were 1 malignant tumors and 7 benign tumors in neoplastic lesions. Through the non malignant tumors 3 were follicular adenoma and 1 was Hurthle cell adenoma. Medullary carcinoma was cancer type occur in 1 patients. Conclusion: Our research confirms that non neoplastic type are much widespread in this organ biopsies in contrast to neoplastic type.}, publisher={ISRES Publishing}
