Abstract
- The development of new imaging technologies and advances in heath care awareness have resulted in increased detection of thyroid nodules as compared with past clinical examinations. It is very important to manage thyroid incidentalomas, as the incidence of clinically manifested thyroid cancer and the rate of mortality due to thyroid cancer are low as compared with the high prevalence of thyroid nodules. In this study, we reviewed the definition, incidence, detection methods and treatment of thyroid incidentalomas.
