چکیده
Introduction localized thyroid enlargement with rest of the thyroid apparently normal is clinically defined as solitary nodule of thyroid. STN is seen in 4-6% of the adult individuals. Fortunately the likelihood that a single thyroid nodule is malignant is approximately 5%. Nodules decreasing in size have negligible risk of cancer and no treatment is required. However, enlarging solid nodules have a definite risk for thyroid cancer. Frequency of thyroid diseases are common is Bangladesh and solitary thyroid nodule presents a significant diagnostic dilemma for the treating Surgeon. Thyroid nodules occurs in 4% of the general adult

متن کاملComparison of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Thyroid Scan in Solitary Thyroid Nodule
Objective. This was a comparative study between FNAC and thyroid scan used to diagnose the solitary thyroid nodule and histopathology was used as gold standard to compare the results of both modalities. We hypothesized that Fine needle aspiration cytology and thyroid scan diagnose solitary thyroid nodule (STN) as accurately as histopathology. Materials and Methods. This study comprised of 50 pa...
