The diagnosis and handling of thyroid nodules require ability and experience of the doctors who participate in the evaluation. The BAAF could improve the precision of the diagnosis, identifing and facilitating the treatment of the cancers of thyroids that otherwise can be ignored. The refinement of the diagostics techniques and the emphasis on the cost that imply have originated spectacular changes in the study of the diagnosis. Therefore one has investigated the validity and reliability of the BAAF, by means of a retrospective clinical study between the patients with thyroid nodule taken care at the Service of Surgery of Head and Neck of the HNERM from January to April of 2004. The utility of the BAAF in the ethiologic diagnosis of the thyroid nodule in the HNERM was correlated with the results of the histological study of the patients obtaining a sensitivity of 94%, a 76% specificity, a predictability for positive cases of 71% and negative cases of 95%. The BAAF demonstrated to be useful means to define the benign or malignant character of a thyroid nodule, although always it must be valued in the clinical context of each individual case.
