Introduction The diagnostic performance of ultrasound-fine needle aspiration to identify
thyroid nodules harbouring malignancy remains variable. The aim of this study was to …

Background: Several authors have questioned the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration
cytology (FNAC) in large nodules. Some surgeons recommend thyroidectomy for nodules≥ …

Background The prognostic impact of ultrasound features of thyroid nodules is debated. We
explore the correlation between nodule size, echogenicity on US, and malignancy. Methods …

Purpose Whether thyroid nodules 4 cm or larger with benign cytology carry a higher risk of
malignancy, and should be managed differently than smaller nodules remains controversial …

Background: Surgical excision has been recommended as a diagnostic test for thyroid
nodules≥ 4 cm, due to the supposedly higher rate of cancer in larger nodules and the …

Objective There is controversy about whether the rates of malignancy and of false-negative
malignancy are greater in large nodules. The aim of this study was to determine the …

Background: Thyroid nodules are a common medical problem, but whether fine-needle
aspiration cytology (FNAC) is mandated for smaller non-palpable nodules, is controversial …

Background: Thyroid-related mortality has remained constant despite the increasing
incidence of thyroid carcinoma. Most thyroid nodules are benign; therefore, ultrasound and …

Background Thyroid nodules are very common. Ultrasound (US) and fine needle aspiration
(FNA) are both integral in cancer screening. This study investigated the concordance …

BACKGROUND: A decision to proceed with thyroidectomy or to perform more extensive
thyroidectomy based on nodule size is controversial. It was our hypothesis that larger …
