    This study analyzed 255 thyroid node surgeries, finding most were cold nodules. Carcinomas occurred in 21 cases, with one hot nodule being cancerous, highlighting diagnostic challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Context:

    • Analysis of 255 patients undergoing surgery for isolated thyroid nodules.
    • Categorization of nodules into 81% cold and 19% hot based on scintigraphy.
    • Investigation into the prevalence and characteristics of thyroid carcinomas within these nodules.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the incidence of thyroid carcinoma in operated thyroid nodules.
    • To compare the occurrence of carcinomas in hot and cold thyroid nodules.
    • To evaluate the frequency of carcinomas in relation to sex and nodule type.

    Summary:

    • A significant proportion of thyroid nodules (81%) were cold, while 19% were hot.
    • Thyroid carcinoma was identified in 21 cases, with a rare instance of a hot nodule being malignant.

  • Carcinoma frequency showed similar rates between sexes for overall nodules and cold nodules, but differed for hot nodules.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis for both hot and cold thyroid nodules.
    • Underscores the need for considering recent advancements in diagnostic techniques for thyroid cancer.
    • Provides data on the sex-based prevalence of thyroid carcinoma in relation to nodule characteristics.
