The location of a thyroid nodule is an independant risk factor for malignancy, with cancer most likely to develop in nodules of the isthmus vs. other portions of the thyroid, according to findings ...

The isoechoic nodule in the right thyroid lobe has a well-defined margin seen in both views. The isthmus and left lobe (B) of the thyroid are normal in size and echotexture in the transverse view.

Thyroid Cancer Cancer risk can differ based on whether nodules are found in the isthmus or the lobar (winged) areas of the thyroid.

In general, thyroid nodules were equally split between the right and left lobes, while only around 2% were located in the isthmus. Some 40% of patients had multiple thyroid nodules.

Thyroid nodules located in the upper pole of the gland were nearly five-times more likely to be malignant, suggesting possible anatomical or environmental influences.

At autopsy in people beyond the age of fifty, it is almost impossible to find a normal thyroid gland, and the vast majority of women of this age have involutionary nodules of greater or lesser size.

Small lumps known as thyroid nodules can sometimes form within the gland, causing significant concern among those affected. The good news is that in most cases, these nodules are benign and ...
