Incidence Of Malignancy In Solitary Thyroid Nodule In A Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross Sectional Study

Abstract

A discrete swelling in an otherwise impalpable thyroid gland is termed as solitary nodule of thyroid. Thyroid nodules are common. They can be either benign or malignant. Solitary thyroid nodules have a high likelihood of being malignant. Because of increased preponderance of malignancy, they should be evaluated with necessary investigations and treated appropriately.
