Abstract

The thyroid nodules are frequent in the general population. The nodules are more prevalent in women and the prevalence of thyroid nodules increased with age and detection are increased in people who underwent thyroid ultrasound, even for diagnostic imaging unrelated to the thyroid. (1) Most thyroid nodules are benign and around 5% of all nodules are cancer. Approximately 90 % of thyroid cancer are differentiated thyroid cancers. Metastasis to the thyroid are rarely observed in clinical practice. The incidence of metastasis to the thyroid gland is 0.36 % in all thyroid malignancies.
