“…Previous studies showed CT findings matched US findings in only 53% to 57.4% of patients, and CT missed other thyroid nodules or multinodularity in 40% to 40.7% of patients [ 5 , 34 ]. CT also underestimates the size of thyroid nodules compared with US [ 35 , 36 ]. Thyroid incidentalomas detected on CT may be difficult to characterize because the CT chest scan was not performed specifically with the intention of assessing the thyroid gland, and the entire gland may not be fully visualized.…”

Context During the COVID-19 pandemic, both people with underlying diseases and previously healthy people had been infected with SARS-CoV-2. In our institute, most hospitalized patients underwent chest computed tomography (CT) to evaluate pulmonary involvement and complication of COVID-19. There is currently limited data regarding thyroid CT incidentalomas in healthy people. Objective We aim to investigate the prevalence and predictors of thyroid incidentalomas among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods A single-center retrospective study included hospitalized patients aged ≥15 years with COVID-19 who underwent chest CT during April 2020 and October 2021. Thyroid incidentalomas were reviewed and identified by an experienced radiologist. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictors for thyroid incidentalomas. Results Of 1,326 patients (mean age 49.4 years and 55.3% female) that were included, the prevalence of thyroid incidentalomas was 20.2%. Patients with thyroid incidentalomas were older (59.6 years vs 46.8 years, p < 0.001) and had a higher proportion of females than those without incidentalomas (63.4% vs 53.2%, p = 0.003). On multivariate analysis, only female gender (OR 1.56; 95%CI, 1.17-2.07) and older age (OR 1.04; 95%CI, 1.03-1.05) were significantly associated with thyroid incidentalomas. Conclusion In COVID-19 patients, the prevalence of thyroid incidentalomas identified on chest CT was higher (20.2%) compared with previous studies in the general population (<1% to 16.8%). The female gender and older age were independent factors associated with thyroid incidentalomas.

“…In unselected nodules, some studies have been performed. Lee et al found no significant differences between benign and malignant lesions in number of lesions, lesion size, presence of calcifications, lesion consistency, and lesion attenuation on CT in a dataset of 109 nodules (100 benign, 9 malignant) [244]. Another study in PTC found that CT was inferior to US for the evaluation of thyroid nodules [245].…”
