Although the majority of thyroid nodules are benign, the risk of malignancy necessitates a thorough evaluation and workup. Evaluation of thyroid nodules is aimed at achieving diagnosis and determining subsequent management: benign asymptomatic nodules undergo monitoring, cytologically abnormal nodules lead to surgical referral for definitive therapy of malignancy or definitive diagnosis of indeterminate nodules, and symptomatic nodular goiters are also candidates for surgery.
