N2 - The Aim: The preoperative distinguish between benign and malignant in solitary thyroid nodule is important. It helps to avoid unnecessary surgery and its adverse effects, such as hypothyroidism, hypocalcemia, and recurrent nerve injury.
Methods: descriptive perspective analyzed data over a period of 6 years April 2015__April 2021 In Saudi hospital at Hajjah, Yemen. 226 thyroid operations for 207 patients ,135 patients diagnosis as Solitary thyroid nodule and 72 patients as Multi nodular goiter. the patients with a clinically as solitary thyroid nodule were included in the study group.
Results: 135 cases of clinically detected STN,126 female and 9 male patients, between 14_65 years age, median 41 years and mean 39.76 years, (94 , 41)patients respectively Rt side thyroid effect more than Lt side, FNAC sensitivity, specificity and accuracy was (61% , 72% , 64%)respectively. Postoperative histopathology was reported 100(74%)patients as benign thyroid nodule and 35 patients(26%) as malignant thyroid nodule . Post operative transient hypocalcemia in 9 patients (7%), and temporary horsnese in 3 patients (2%).
Conclusion: The incidence of malignancy in STN is high. Rapid growth by history and hard fixed nodule by examination and hypoechoic, micro calcification and cervical lymphadenopathy on USG frequently in malignant nodules. Male risk factor for thyroid cancer while age, number and size of nodules were not. FNAC more helpful for diagnosis if aspiration under USG guide and reading by experience histopathologest .Type of surgery depending on preoperative evaluation including history, examination, ultrasound, FNAC result, and intraoperative assessment of the nodule .Less complications of thyroid surgery by experience surgeon.
