Abstract

Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem. The prevalence of palpable thyroid nodules approximately 5% in women and 1% in men. In contrast, high-resolution ultrasound (US) can detect thyroid nodules in 19-68%. The clinical importance of thyroid nodules is to exclude thyroid cancer, which occurs in 7-15% of cases depending on age, sex, radiation exposure, and family history. Incidental thyroid nodules are being diagnosed with increasing frequency in recent years with the use of newer and highly sensitive imaging techniques. The high prevalence of thyroid nodules necessitates that clinician use evidence-based approaches for their assessment and management. e revised guidelines for the management of thyroid nodules include recommendations regarding initial evaluation, clinical and ultrasound criteria for fine-needle aspiration biopsy, interpretation of fine-needle aspiration biopsy results, use of molecular markers, and management of benign thyroid nodules. Many nodules will not require biopsy. These nodules and those that are cytologically benign can be managed with long-term follow-up alone. If malignancy is suspected, options include surgery. When there are multiple options for diagnosis and/or treatment, they should be discussed with patients as frankly as possible to identify an approach that best meets their needs. This case discusses how to diagnose and treat thyroid-adenomatoid cyst thyroid nodules case with extirpation and thyroidectomy surgery so that the selection of management becomes more precise and can reduce the recurrence rate.
