Rational diagnosis and surgical management of thyroid nodule

Few subjects in endocrine surgery have generated as much contraversy as the management of thyroid nodule. The contraversial issues include evaluation of labaratory findings and imaging diagnostic procedures in the patient with solitary thyroid nodule. The major issue in relation to controversies is choice of optimal diagnostic workup.
