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 …

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

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

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 …

Thyroid incidentalomas are nonpalpable, asymptomatic thyroid nodules that are discovered
on an imaging study performed to evaluate other structures or during an operation unrelated …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background: The prevalence of thyroid nodules in the general population varies according
to the method of detection in use. In large population studies, about 5% of subjects have …

Background: The introduction of highly sensitive imaging techniques has made it possible to
