BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of thyroid incidentalomas is controversial.
METHODS: The rate of malignancy was determined for patients with an incidentally …

BACKGROUND: Studies indicate that incidentally discovered thyroid nodules≥ 1 cm in size
may have a higher rate of malignancy (7% to 29%) than traditionally discovered nodules …

Background With widespread use of diagnostic imaging modalities, incidental thyroid
nodules are frequently identified in patients for unrelated reasons. If underlying thyroid …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Incidental thyroid nodules are commonly seen on
imaging, and their work-up can ultimately lead to surgery. We describe characteristics and …

The incidental thyroid nodule is a common finding on cross-sectional imaging of the neck
and chest. Although the majority of nonpalpable incidental nodules are benign, the …

The treatment strategy of an incidentally detected thyroid nodule is controversial. The aim of
this study was to establish management criteria for thyroid incidentalomas by defining and …

Thyroid incidentalomas are commonly found on cross-sectional imaging of the neck and
they are equally likely to be malignant as palpable thyroid nodules. Guidelines on their …

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 …

Purpose: Thyroid nodules incidentally identified on imaging are thought to contribute to the
increasing incidence of thyroid cancer. We aim to determine the true rate of incidental …
