Thyroid nodules over 4  cm do not have higher malignancy or benign cytology false-negative rates

ConclusionsThis study shows that thyroid nodules ≥4 cm do not have a higher malignancy rate at surgery nor higher benign cytology false-negative rate than smaller nodules. Thyroid nodules over 4 cm do not require resection, to rule out malignancy, based on size alone.
