The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident occurred on March 11 2011, following the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. Radioactive materials, including I-131, were released into the environment after the accident. Shortly after, the prefectural government initiated the Fukushima Health Management Survey for monitoring the long-term health conditions of the residents of Fukushima Prefecture. In the survey, thyroid ultrasonography was scheduled for all people aged 18 years or younger who were living in Fukushima Prefecture at the time of disaster. The total number of examinees was approximately 370,000 in the Preliminary Baseline Survey (PBLS), and 380,000 in the first Full-scale Survey (FSS). First, thyroid ultrasonography was performed as the Primary Examination. When a thyroid nodule that meets the fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) guideline is detected, thyroid FNAC is performed. By the end of June 2017, the cytological specimens of 187 examinees had been interpreted as Malignant or Suspicious for Malignancy (SFM). In this article, the cytological results of whole categories are presented using the criteria of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. The total numbers of examinees with SFM or Malignant in PBLS and at the first FSS were 106 (62.0%) and 71 (38.0%), respectively. The data of the cytological results of SFM and Malignant were already reported. However, this is the first report of cytological data from categories other than SFM and Malignant. The results of the current study will contribute to future research into the thyroid conditions of children and adolescents.

Histological classification and cytology reporting format described in General Rules for the Description of Thyroid Cancer, the 8th edition (2019) (the Japanese General Rules) were briefly introduced. Moreover, the differences between “the Japanese General Rules”, and WHO Histological Classification, the 4th edition (2017) and The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, the 2nd edition (2018) were also explained. The Japanese General Rules did not accept the borderline lesions of thyroid tumor which were newly shown in WHO Histological Classification. We believe it is not necessary to introduce these borderline lesions in daily practice in Japan. Borderline lesions were proposed for avoiding over-surgery for thyroid cancer patients. In the United States, when the patient is diagnosed as malignant on cytology, total thyroidectomy is generally recommended. However, there is no over-surgery in Japan, because surgeons have several choices of treatment for thyroid cancer patients. This article is the first that the Japanese General Rules was shown by foreign language. Therefore, this will be advantageous to us when we present our opinion concerning histology and cytology of thyroid tumor to the world.
