This study analyzed 366 thyroid nodule surgeries, finding malignancy in 12.8%. Key predictors of thyroid cancer include male sex, specific age groups, hard nodule consistency, and hyperechogenicity on ultrasound.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Nodular thyroid disease is common, posing challenges for surgical strategy.
  • A retrospective analysis of 366 thyroidectomies was conducted between 1995 and 1997.
  • Malignancy incidence was 12.8%, with papillary and vesicular types predominating.

Purpose:

  • To identify clinical and complementary data predictive of malignancy in nodular thyroid disease.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in thyroid nodule assessment.

Summary:

  • While nodule size, calcifications, and ultrasound features showed no significant predictive value for malignancy, male sex, age extremes ( <40 or >70 years), hard nodule consistency, palpable lymph node invasion, and hyperechogenicity on ultrasound were identified as predictors.

  • Fine needle aspiration (FNA) demonstrated a high negative predictive value (92%), confirming its utility in diagnosing thyroid nodules.

    • Impact:

    • Provides valuable insights for refining surgical strategies in nodular thyroid disease.
    • Highlights specific clinical and imaging features that warrant closer attention for potential malignancy.
    • Reinforces the importance of FNA in the preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules, aiding in accurate diagnosis and management.
