Radionuclide scan cannot be used to predict the malignant potential of thyroid nodules. A comprehensive evaluation of imaging studies is needed.doi:10.1002/ccr3.3843Yuki OtsukaYasuhiro NakanoDaisuke OmuraTakayuki IwamotoFumio OtsukaJohn Wiley & Sons, LtdClinical Case Reports...
Areas or nodules that are producing excess hormone (referred to as hyperfunctioning) will show increased uptake of iodine. These are referred to as "hot" nodules or areas. By contrast, so-called "cold" nodules represent areas with decreased iodine uptake. "Cold" nodules do not produce excess...
Nodules may appear ‘hot’, ‘warm’ or ‘cold’ depending on whether the tracer uptake is greater than, equal to or less than the surrounding normal thyroid tissue respectively [11]. Autonomous nodules may appear hot or indeterminate and account for 5 to 10 % of palpable nodules. FNA evalu...

or hypo-functional thyroid tissue. Warm nodules indicate normal thyroid function. As per research, 5% of thyroid nodules are hot, 10% are warm and 85% are cold. Around 85-95% of all types of nodules are benign in nature. Only 5% of hot nodules and 5-8% of cold or warm nodules are...
Cold - 85% of nodules are cold. Of these, up to 25% are malignant. Hot - 5% of nodules are hot. Among these, 1%aremalignant. Surgery Surgery should be performed in the following instances Reaccumulationof the nodule despite 3-4 repeated FNACs Size in excess of 4 cm in some cases Co...
(normal range: <33.7 ng/mL). Echocardiography revealed bilateral isoechoic nodules surrounded by low-echoic lesions. Tc-99m scintig-raphy showed a hot nodule in the left lobe that was consis-tent with a functional nodule, in addition to a cold nodule in the right lobe (Figure 1A). ...
Sometimes, people with thyroid nodules make too little thyroid hormone. This can cause symptoms of hypothyroidism: Fatigue Cold sensitivity Constipation Dry skin Weight gain Puffy face Hoarseness Muscle weakness Highcholesterol Muscle aches or stiffness ...
Controversies in the management of cold, hot, and occult thyroid nodules Some aspects of thyroid nodule evaluation and management remain controversial. Radionuclide scanning provides functional information about nodules and diff... GH Gharib - 《American Journal of Medicine》 被引量: 403发表: 1995年 ...
Histologically, benign thyroid nodules are characterized by morphologic criteria as encapsulated lesions (true adenomas) or adenomatous nodules, which lack a capsule. On functional grounds, nodules are classified as either “cold,”“normal,” or “hot,” depending on whether they show decreased, ...
