Thyroid Nodule Size as a Predictor of Malignancy in Follicular and Hurthle Neoplasms.

Introduction: The management of follicular (FN) and Hurthle cell neoplasms (HCN) is often difficult because of the uncertainty of malignancy risk. We aimed to assess characteristics of benign and malignant follicular and Hurthle neoplasms based on their shape and size.

Materials And Methods: Patients with Follicular adenoma (FA) or carcinoma (FC) and Hurthle Cell adenoma (HCA) or carcinoma (HCC) who had preoperative ultrasonography were included.
