Thyroid ultrasound is widely used to stratify the risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules and aid decision-making about whether fine needle aspiration biopsy is indicated using the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS). We undertook this study to determine incidence of thyroid cancer in an older, most male population referred for evaluation of a thyroid nodule at a US veterans medical center. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule at the Oklahoma City US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. We recorded sonographic findings, TIRADS score, cytopathology and surgical pathology. Results: Among 162 subjects undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule, 80% were men and average age was >60 years. Only 8 of the 164 had a malignancy diagnosed. Neither age, sex, nor nodule size was associated with malignancy. All with malignancy had a TIRADS score or either 4 or 5, but only a minority of TIRADS 4 (2.4%) or TIRADS 5 (8.8%) had thyroid cancer. Punctate calcifications were found in 6 of the 8 nodules with thyroid cancer and was the only finding statistically associated with malignancy. No malignancy was found in nodules categorized as Bethesda III category."> <meta name="citation_abstract_html_url"

class="fas fa-user"></i> Ahmad Abu-Limon </p> <p><strong>Background: </strong>Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy and has an increasing incidence. Thyroid ultrasound is widely used to stratify the risk of malignancy of thyroid nodules and aid decision-making about whether fine needle aspiration biopsy is indicated using the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS). We undertook this study to determine incidence of thyroid cancer in an older, most male population referred for evaluation of a thyroid nodule at a US veterans medical center.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>We performed a retrospective study of all patients undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule at the Oklahoma City US Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. We recorded sonographic findings, TIRADS score, cytopathology and surgical pathology.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 162 subjects undergoing evaluation of a thyroid nodule, 80% were men and average age was >60 years. Only 8 of the 164 had a malignancy diagnosed. Neither age, sex, nor nodule size was associated with malignancy. All with malignancy had a TIRADS score or either 4 or 5, but only a minority of TIRADS 4 (2.4%) or TIRADS 5 (8.8%) had thyroid cancer. Punctate calcifications were found in 6 of the 8 nodules with thyroid cancer and was the only finding statistically associated with malignancy. No malignancy was found in nodules categorized as Bethesda III category.</p> <div class="alert alert-info text-left"><b>மறுப்பு:</b> இந்த சுருக்கமானது செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவு கருவிகளைப் பயன்படுத்தி மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டது மற்றும் இன்னும் மதிப்பாய்வு செய்யப்படவில்லை அல்லது சரிபார்க்கப்படவில்லை.</div> <div class="nav social-icons"> <a class="nav-link w-auto">இந்தக் கட்டுரையைப் பகிரவும்</a> <a title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://tamil.longdom.org/abstract/the-risk-of-thyroid-malignancy-in-a-predominately-older-male-population-based-on-sonographic-pattern-and-fine-needle-asp-105378.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?url=https://tamil.longdom.org/abstract/the-risk-of-thyroid-malignancy-in-a-predominately-older-male-population-based-on-sonographic-pattern-and-fine-needle-asp-105378.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://tamil.longdom.org/abstract/the-risk-of-thyroid-malignancy-in-a-predominately-older-male-population-based-on-sonographic-pattern-and-fine-needle-asp-105378.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://tamil.longdom.org/abstract/the-risk-of-thyroid-malignancy-in-a-predominately-older-male-population-based-on-sonographic-pattern-and-fine-needle-asp-105378.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-google-plus-g"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <footer class="bg-blue-grey-900 py-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">உள்ளடக்க இணைப்புகள்</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled footer-links font-size-3"> <li><a class="" href="https://tamil.longdom.org/privacy-policy.html" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்">தனியுரிமைக் கொள்கை</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://tamil.longdom.org/terms-conditions.html" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்">விதிமுறைகளும் நிபந்தனைகளும்</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://tamil.longdom.org/authors-reviewers-editors.html" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்">ஆசிரியர்கள், விமர்சகர்கள் & எடிட்டோ </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">லாங்டம் தொடர்பு கொள்ளவும்</h4> <p><strong>லாங்டம் குழு SA</strong><br /> Avenue Roger Vandendriessche,<br /> 18, 1150 பிரஸ்ஸல்ஸ், பெல்ஜியம்<br /> தொலைபேசி: +442038085340<br /> <strong>மின்னஞ்சல்:</strong> <a class="white" href="mailto:info@longdom.org" title="Click here">info@longdom.org</a></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">இணைக்கவும்</h4> <nav class="nav nav-pills social-icons-footer flex-column a-pl-0"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/longdompublisher" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-facebook-hover"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f bg-facebook"></i></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/longdom-publishing-sl/" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-linkedin-hover"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in bg-linkedin"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LongdomP" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-twitter-hover"><i class="fab fa-twitter bg-twitter"></i></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/longdom_publisher/" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-instagram-hover"><i class="fab fa-instagram bg-instagram"></i></a> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="row text-center"> <div class="col"> <p>காப்புரிமை © 2024 <a href="https://tamil.longdom.org/" title="இங்கே கிளிக் செய்யவும்" class="white">லாங்டம் பப்ளிஷிங் எஸ்.எல்</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </footer>  <a href="#0" class="cd-top js-cd-top">Top</a>   <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>  <script> jQuery(function($) { $(window).scroll(function fix_element() { $('#target').css( $(window).scrollTop() > 100 ?
