Abstract

Thyroid carcinoma was the common head-neck malignancy. Clinical examination was essential at the initial suspicion of thyroid malignancy. Thyroid size and nodularity were the first things in a physical examination of the thyroid. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the type and size of thyroid nodules and their malignancy. This research was a case-control study. The case group was malignant thyroid nodules, while the control group was benign thyroid nodules. The study subjects were patients with thyroid nodules who underwent thyroidectomy surgery at RSUP. Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta, between 2016-2018. The type of nodules was determined by computerized tomography (CT) scan. The size of the nodules was determined by a CT scan. The difference of nodularity was analyzed within each group and between study groups. The subject consisted of 50 patients who underwent thyroidectomy, each group consisted of 25 patients. There was no significant difference in nodule type (multinodular and unimodular) between benign and malignant thyroid nodul with p value 0.079 (p< 0.05, 95% CI). There was no significant difference in nodule size between benign and malignant thyroid nodul with p value = 0.148 (p> 0.05, 95% CI) and Odds Ratio (OR)= 0.67 (95% CI 0.19 -2.32). Multivariate analysis was performed. The dependent variable was nodule malignancy. The independent variables were age, sex, TSH level, free-T4 level, nodule type and nodule size. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed statistically significant results only at TSH levels with p value = 0.005. The conclusion of this study was that the type of nodule (multinodular and uninodular), and nodule size were not related to the thyroid malignancy statistically.
