The ATA guidelines categorize nodules based on ultrasound pattern as benign, very low, low, intermediate, or high suspicion. The benign category consists of purely cystic nodules with no solid ...
The results show that overall, 13.0% (n = 614) of the thyroid nodule FNA biopsies had nondiagnostic results, which is within the average rates in the literature ranging from 6% to 36%, Lundholm noted.

I believe the thyroid nodule that is a good candidate for microwave ablation is the nodule that will prove it's benign. Right now, the standard in the United States is almost the same as the ...
Overall, the false negative rate including all patients was 4.3%. "False negative FNA biopsy results were not markedly elevated if nodules greater than 4 cm are evaluated, but rates were ...
The volume of thyroid nodule is calculated using this formula: (length in cm × depth in cm × width in cm) × 0.524. Typically nodules that respond better are small (< 10-12 mm), although there ...
Use of Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) of the Thyroid. FNA is recommended for all palpable solitary or dominant nodules, independent of size. FNA is preferred over thyroid scan or ultrasonography as ...
Cystic Thyroid Nodules (CTN) represent 15 to 37 percent of all surgical excised thyroid nodules. [ 1 5 ] CTNs include true or simple thyroid cysts, with an epithelial lining, and mixed nodules ...
