A thyroid nodule is a discrete swelling within an otherwise normal thyroid gland. It can be nonfunctioning (cold) or functioning (autonomous nodule) without (hot) or with hypersecretion of thyroid hormones (toxic nodule), as defined by isotope scanning of the thyroid and biochemical thyroid function investigations.

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.

Thyroid nodules are common, usually asymptomatic, and often pose minimal risk to the affected patient. However, 10-15% prove malignant and serve as the rationale for diagnostic assessment. Safely identifying and treating a relevant thyroid cancer through a cost-effective process is the primary goal of the treating practitioner.

This is a brief overview of the initial workup of patients with thyroid nodules. Most nodules are incidentally discovered, benign, and do not require surgery, but the clinician's job is to determine which nodules are concerning and what the appropriate workup should be.

Evaluation of the thyroid nodule
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2009Abstract The annual incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide is 1 case per 100 000 men and 2.6 cases per 100 000 women. Most thyroid nodules are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on physical examination, self-palpation or incidentally on imaging studies performed for unrelated reasons.

Management of the Thyroid Nodule
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1980Lobectomy-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.
