Malignancy in Solitary Thyroid Nodules: Evaluation of Risk Factors

Abstract: Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate patients with suspicious solitary nodules undergoing bilateral total thyroidectomy for the presence of malignancy. Patients and Methods: 141 patients with true solitary thyroid nodules who underwent bilateral total thyroidectomy at the Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Hospital between 2008 and 2013 were retrospectively evaluated. Parameters including demographics, ultrasonographic findings, and laboratory values were analyzed. Results: When the … Show more

“…The composition, echogenicity, orientation, margin, and shape were automatically analyzed by the CADs. Microcalcifications are also regarded as a suspected feature of thyroid malignancies [20, 21]. Vascularity could also be a complementary tool in the differentiation of thyroid nodules [22, 23].…”

“…1,7,8 However, recent studies have shown increased rates of thyroid cancer in patients with hyperthyroidism. [9][10][11] In addition, the malignancy seen in these patients has been shown to demonstrate aggressive histologic features. 10,12 The American Thyroid Association's (ATA) recommendation for the management of patients with hyperthyroidism because of Graves' disease is antithyroid drugs, followed by radioactive iodine ablation (RAI) or thyroidectomy for definitive management.…”
