Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) are more likely to develop thyroid nodules or cancer by analyzing 904 children/adolescents over a median follow-up of 4.5 years.
- A total of 174 thyroid nodules were found, with a 3.5% annual incidence rate, and 10 of these nodules were malignant, resulting in a 5.7% cancer prevalence among those with nodules.
- The findings suggest that while HT may influence the formation of thyroid nodules, it does not significantly increase the risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents.
