Oto cli of N Ame. The preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules to distinguish between benign and malignant nodules is very important. Two markers, thyroid peroxidase and galectin-3, seem to be particularly promising as practical tools to improve the accuracy of FNAB. Comparison between nodules having a specified ultrasound characteristic between histologically proven benign nodules versus malignant nodules. Also it classifies the nodules into solid, cystic, or mixed.

The endoscopic approach provides a superior cosmetic result when compared to conventional thyroidectomy and results in a quicker return to normal activity. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. The swelling was noticed by patient’s relatives in most instances and in few cases, by patients themselves. The aim of the present study was to evaluate patients with clinically detected STN for the presence of malignancy, in relation to various factors like age, gender, and ultrasonography USG findings like size of the nodule, echogenicity, micro calcification, and presence of lymphadenopathy.
