Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules.

Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules. Surg Clin North Am. 2019 Aug;99(4):571-586 Authors: Detweiler K, Elfenbein DM, Mayers D Abstract This is a brief overview of the initial workup of patients with thyroid nodules. Most nodules are incidentally discovered, benign, and do not require surgery, but the clinician's job is to determine which nodules are concerning and what the appropriate workup should be. Ultrasound examination is the best imaging modality to evaluation thyroid nodules and, when biopsy is indicated, fine needle aspiration is the proper technique to sample thyroid nodules.
