The Thyroid Nodule

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1982
The various techniques for evaluating a thyroid nodule are described and their relative values analyzed. Fine-needle aspiration is the most sensitive and specific test among the leading techniques, the others being ultrasonography and thyroid scanning. A combination of tests is also analyzed.

Evaluation of the Thyroid Nodule

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2009
Thyroid nodules are very common in the general population. The prevalence of palpable thyroid nodules is only approximately 4–7%, but the prevalence of ultrasound–detectable nodules is between 19 and 67% [1]. Twenty to forty–eight percent of patients with apparently solitary thyroid nodules palpated on physical exam will have additional sonographically

Ultrasound of Thyroid Nodules

Ultrasound Clinics, 2008
Thyroid nodules can be detected in 4% to 8% of the adult population by palpation, but in 40% to 50% of the population by ultrasound. The overwhelming majority of these represent benign hyperplastic nodules or adenomas. Approximately 5% of nodules are malignant, with papillary carcinoma representing approximately 75% to 80% of primary thyroid ...

Management of the Thyroid Nodule

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1980
Lobectomy-isthmectomy is part of our standard diagnostic approach for the solitary "cold" nodule of the thyroid. Although the majority of these prove to be benign, there is no noninvasive technique that can rule out malignant disease. It is necessary that the attendant morbidity for diagnostic surgery be extremely low.

Investigating the thyroid nodule

BMJ, 2009
#### Summary points Thyroid nodules are common: 4-7% of the adults have a palpable nodule, and up to 50-70% will have nodules on high definition ultrasonography, which may cause considerable concern to patients. In this article, we present an evidence based guide to investigating and managing thyroid nodules and we discuss the myths about nodules ...

Thyroid nodules

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014
According to the literature, thyroid nodules (TNs) are quite rare in the first two decades of life and are predominantly non-cancerous, although cancerous TNs are more common in the first two decades of life than in adults. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to distinguish benign from malignant lesions preoperatively because the latter require a
