    A systematic approach to solitary thyroid nodules is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Combining scintigraphy with needle cytology helps identify benign nodules and select appropriate cases for surgery, improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Solitary thyroid nodules are common, affecting 2-5% of the population.
    • These nodules require a systematic diagnostic approach due to diverse causes and specific treatments.
    • Distinguishing between benign and potentially malignant nodules is essential for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline a systematic diagnostic strategy for solitary thyroid nodules.
    • To emphasize the roles of scintigraphy and needle cytology in nodule evaluation.
    • To guide surgical intervention based on diagnostic findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Scintigraphy to categorize nodules as "warm" (10%), "extinctive" (20%), or "cold" (70%).
    • Evaluation of diagnostic discrepancies between technetium and radioactive iodine imaging.

  • Utilizing needle cytology as the primary method for selecting surgical candidates.

    • Main Results:

    • "Warm" and "extinctive" nodules are generally benign.
    • "Cold" nodules have a 10% risk of differentiated epithelioma with good prognosis.
    • Needle cytology is highly effective in selecting nodules for surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • A diagnostic sequence of scintigraphy followed by needle exploration and cytology is proposed.
    • This approach aims to limit surgery to cases with therapeutic indications.
    • Histology remains the definitive diagnostic examination for thyroid nodules.
