Besides a laboratory assay, scintiscan was the most important tool for the correct workup of toxic nodules, as they always showed a hot scintiscan uptake. On the other hand, FNAB had lower value, as it provided no additional information in the diagnostic characterization. However, the vast ...
The vast majority of these nodules are benign and do not require any specific therapy. Thyroid nodules are evaluated in order to see if the lesion is benign or malignant, or, in a patient with hyperthyroidism, to see if the nodule is the source of excessive thyroid hormone. In addition to...

A careful history is important because it can reveal information that immediately stratifies a patient into a high-risk category. High-risk factors include ionizing radiation to the neck during childhood [4], a history of benign goiter and thyroid nodules [5], and a family history of thyroid ...
Nodules may be single or multiple and can vary in size. If nodules are excessively large, they may cause symptoms related to compression of nearby structures. Thyroid cancer Thyroid cancer is far more common among adult women than men or youth. About 2/3 of cases occur in people under age...
