Abstract :

Background:The solitary thyroid nodule is a palpable discrete swelling in an otherwise apparently normal thyroid.¹Solitary thyroid nodule is one of the commonest thyroid disorder.Methods:A two year prospective and two year retrospective study on histomorphological study of solitary thyroid nodule was conducted in M.G.M./Kakatiya Medical College, Warangal from June 2010 to May 2014.Required clinical details were taken.

Results:Out of 175 cases, 11 (6.29%) cases were males and 164 (93.7%) cases were females with a male to female ratio of 1:14.9. Conclusion:Solitary thyroid nodule is one of the commonest thyroid disorder. The study of macroscopic and microscopic features of different solitary thyroid nodules will enable for categorization into exact morphological type which will help the surgeon for proper management. FNAC has become an integral part of initial diagnosis and management of the patients presenting with solitary thyroid nodule. USG and FNAC are complimentary to surgical biopsy. Although, histopathological diagnosis is the gold standard in diagnosing lesions of solitary nodule of thyroid.
