THYROID nodulesTHYROID cancerSOLITARY pulmonary noduleTHYROID glandPROBABILITY theoryBackground Tumor size is considered an important predictor of malignancy in many types of cancer. However, there is no clear line of characterization regarding the association between thyroid nodule size and prediction of ...
Thyroid nodules are solid or fluid-filled lumps or bumps. They're found on your thyroid, a small gland in your neck. This gland makesthyroid hormone, which affects yourmetabolism(the internal process that turns your food into energy), heart rate, and many other systems in your body. Sometim...
A thyroid ultrasound is a very simple, non-intrusive test that only takes about 10 minutes. It uses sound waves to image the thyroid. A lubricant jelly is placed on the skin and a small hand-held transducer is passed over the thyroid. The ultrasound will show any change in gland size an...
All the other nodules investigated by scintiscan disclosed normal or decreased uptake with respect to the gland and, in particular, 42 of 50 of the patients with euthyroidism had decreased scintiscan uptake. In 1 case, the nodule was not found. Table 3 compares the clinical, laboratory, and...

These nodules are usually 1–2 mm in greatest dimension and may number from 1 to 5. They are completely lacking in C (parafollicular) cells, which secrete calcitonin, but their follicular structure and function are the same as that of the main thyroid lobes. 2. Thyroid Histology The ...
In patients with Graves' disease presenting with diffuse enlargement of the thyroid gland, FNA is usually not necessary for the diagnosis, and some even consider that aspiration is contraindicated because it could precipitate a thyroid storm. Nodules, however, can also be present in Graves' disease...

While 18FDG-PET imaging is not recommended for the evaluation of patients with newly detected thyroid nodules or thyroidal illness, the incidental detection of abnormal thyroid uptake may nonetheless be encountered. Importantly, incidental 18FDG-PET uptake in the thyroid gland can be either focal or...
