摘要: Nodular lesions of the thyroid are detected in 4–7% general population and incidence is higher iodine-deficient areas. In autopsy studies, more than 50% thyroids regarded as normal had nodules. Furthermore, incidentaloma, that is, nodules incidentally on imaging was also high at 13–67% [1]. This likely due to development various studies such high-resolution ultrasonography which increasingly be performed propagation medical screening “ningen dock” check-up increases.
