Nodule size and fine-needle aspiration biopsy: diagnostic challenges for thyroid malignancy

To investigate the relationship between nodule size and malignancy and the correlation between the dimensional parameter and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with a nodular goiter. Histological data of 415 patients who underwent thyroidectomy were used to estimate the actual nodule s...
