ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Most patients present with an asymptomatic mass discovered by a physician on routine neck palpation or by the patient during self-examination. It is a clinical diagnosis. The incidence of solitary thyroid nodule is about 4%. Methods: A retrospective study was done, including all the patients who had presented to Surgical Unit-II of Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur for one-year duration from May 2019 to May 2020. The patients enrolled were older than 12 years. We examined all cases concerning the patient's age and sex, thyroid examination and final histopathological diagnosis according to the patient's medical reports. Data was analyzed using SPSS 15 software. Results: A total of 341 cases with a single thyroid nodule were selected. Of these, 2 (15.2%) were men and 289 (84.8%) were women. Thyroid examination revealed 272 (87.2%) cold nodules, of which 32 (11.76%) were malignant. Others include single nodule 15 (4.8%), toxic adenoma 7 (2.2%), hot nodule 18 (5.8%); 1 case with a hot nodule had malignancy. Conclusion: A solitary thyroid nodule is common in our configuration that requires appropriate evaluation for evaluation. The incidence of malignant single thyroid tumors is high, although FNAC, ultrasound reports are not reliable in our study due to the lack of an expert. Surgery is the best treatment of choice and provides final histopathological diagnosis, better cosmesis and greater patient satisfaction. Keywords: solitary nodule, thyroid, hot nodule, cold nodule
