Recent Trends in the Clinicopathological Features of Thyroid Nodules in Pediatric Patients: A Single Tertiary Center Experience over 25 Years.

Conclusion: Following a thyroidectomy in children with thyroid nodules, there was no change in the rate of detection of thyroid cancer over time with age, although the detected frequency of malignancy has increased in more recent patients. Therefore, early thyroid nodule detection for malignant screening is likely to be required for pediatric patients in the near future. PMID: 31933637 [PubMed]
