Thyroid nodules are common. Most are benign lesions since clinically important thyroid carcinoma is a relatively rare disease. The most sensitive and specific test for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer is fine-needle aspiration biopsy, but its diagnostic accuracy depends upon whether or not one excises all suspicious nodules, thus including them as correctly diagnosed. Nevertheless, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is the most sensitive, specific, and cost-effective test for thyroid cancer. Therapy depends upon the cause of the thyroid nodule.
