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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Management of the thyroid nodule
Head & Neck, 1989AbstractThe approach to the patient with a palpable solitary thyroid nodule remains controversial. In the rare patient with signs and symptoms suggestive of malignancy, the course of action is reasonably established. However, the patient with an asymptomatic solitary thyroid nodule presents a dilemma. The therapeutic alternatives range from suppressive

Evaluation of a thyroid nodule
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2003Solitary thyroid nodules are common entities and the majority of these are benign. The main goal in evaluating these nodules is to identify the [figure: see text] nodules with malignant potentials. A multitude of diagnostic tests is available to the clinician. FNA biopsy is now considered the gold standard diagnostic test in the evaluation of a thyroid

Is It Really a Thyroid Nodule?
Gastroenterology, 2013GASTROENTEROLOGY 2013;145:726–729 Question: A 70-year-old woman presented with a painless and nonprogressive left neck mass for 2 months. It was palpated incidentally, and there was no associated dysphagia or hoarseness. Physical examination revealed the left-sided, lower midline neck mass, 2 2 cm in size. It was mobile, elastic, and well-margined. The

The Patient with a Thyroid Nodule
Medical Clinics of North America, 2010Nodular thyroid disease is common in the United States and throughout the world. Although most thyroid nodules are benign in nature, certain clinical, radiographic, and cytologic features are associated with an increased risk of malignancy. A clear understanding of these risk factors assists in the decision-making process when evaluating a patient with

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1986
Thyroid nodules are infrequently encountered in children. During the era of low‐dose therapeutic irradiation, the incidence of malignancy in these lesions was 40% to 70%. Recent studies suggest that this incidence is declining, resulting in a concomitant relative increase in the proportion of benign nodular conditions.
