Background: The introduction of highly sensitive imaging techniques has made it possible to
detect many nonpalpable nodules, or “incidentalomas,” in the thyroid. Discovery of these …

Background: Thyroid nodules are commonly identified on autopsy examination. There are
relatively few descriptions, however, of the frequency with which thyroid nodules are …

During the last 2 decades, the evolution of sensitive diagnostic techniques has significantly
improved and simplified endocrine practice. Technologic advances have expanded …

Thyroid nodules are common and are commonly benign. The reported prevalence of
nodular thyroid disease depends on the population studied and the methods used to detect …

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the rate of malignancy in thyroid
nodules discovered incidentally on magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography …

High-resolution ultrasonography (US) has made possible the detection of asymptomatic
small thyroid nodules. Thyroid incidentalomas have created a clinical dilemma as to how to …

The incidental thyroid nodule (ITN) is one of the most common incidental findings on
imaging studies that include the neck. An ITN is defined as a nodule not previously detected …

A thyroid incidentaloma is an unexpected, asymptomatic thyroid tumor fortuitously
discovered during the investigation of an unrelated condition. The prevalence rate is 67 …

Palpable thyroid nodules occur in 4 to 7 percent of the population, but nodules found
incidentally on ultrasonography suggest a prevalence of 19 to 67 percent. The majority of …

Thyroid incidentaloma is defined as an unsuspected, asymptomatic thyroid lesion that is
discovered on an imaging study or during an operation unrelated to the thyroid gland …
