A Prospective Study of Incidence of Malignancy in Solitary Nodule of Thyroid

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are common. They can be either benign or malignant. Solitary thyroid nodules have a high likelihood of being malignant. They should be characterized properly for optimum management. Study aimed to find the incidence of malignancy in solitary nodule thyroid. Material and Methods: 54 patients aged between 18 and 75 years who underwent solitary thyroid nodules surgery from January 2018 until December 2018 were included. Data collection by meticulous history taking and clinical examination, appropriate laboratory and radiological investigations, operative findings, histopathological report, and follow-up of cases. Results: the Adenomatous colloid goiters were observed in 16 patients (30%), followed by Nodular goiter in 10 patients (18.5%). In the present series, papillary carcinoma is the commonest malignancy of Solitary Thyroid Nodule 8 (80%) of the total of 10 malignancies. conclusion: Solitary nodule is more common in females. The most common malignancy in solitary nodule thyroid is papillary carcinoma FNAC is an important investigation in the evaluation of the solitary nodule of thyroid.
