Thirty-nine children and adolescents with a solitary nodule of the thyroid gland were seen over a 16-yr period and 35 had their nodules removed surgically. All of the patients had preoperative thyroid scintiscans, of which 27 showed a cold nodule. The most common cause of solitary thyroid nodules was follicular adenoma. Five of the 27 cold nodules were malignant (18.5%) while no malignancies were present in the warm or hot nodules. Available diagnostic methods of attempting differentiation of benign from malignant solitary nodules are reviewed and an approach to the clinical management of such nodules as derived from our experience is presented.
