    Thyroid surgery between 1969-1984 revealed 5.6% malignancy in cold nodules. High false-negative rates from fine needle biopsy suggest careful surgical indication for thyroid nodules.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Retrospective analysis of 3,972 thyroid gland operations performed between 1969 and 1984.
    • Evaluation of 3,540 scintigraphic findings to identify thyroid nodules.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the prevalence and malignancy rate of cold thyroid nodules.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle biopsy (FNB) and cytology for thyroid nodules.
    • To determine optimal surgical indications for thyroid nodules based on malignancy risk and diagnostic limitations.

    Summary:

    • 57% of evaluated cases presented with one or more cold thyroid nodules.
    • The malignancy rate within these cold nodules was 5.6%.
    • Fine needle biopsy and cytology yielded a 17.9% false-negative rate, indicating potential diagnostic limitations.

    Impact:

    • Findings support a strategy of strict operative indications for thyroid nodules.
    • Highlights the need for careful consideration of FNB limitations in clinical decision-making.
    • Contributes to understanding the management of cold thyroid nodules and optimizing surgical outcomes.
