2013-02-20 20:59:20During the 15-year period of observation, 67 new lesions were detected in persons previously found to be free of thyroid disease. This represented a 15-year incidence rate of 1.4%, 1.7% in females and 0.9% in males. None of these newly detected lesions showed evidence of malignancy.

解剖所見では50%の人に甲状腺結節が存在するが、その多くは小さい
超音波検査では70%の成人に甲状腺結節が存在するが、そのほとんどが小さく、臨床意義ははっきりしない

2013-02-20 21:21:46@myen Wartofsky (2006) "Most true intrathyroidal nodules will represent colloid adenomas (27–60%) or simple follicular adenomas (26–40%)."

2013-02-20 21:28:47「小さく触れる事のできない乳頭がんは臨床的に重要でない」というのが一般的な合意である。
@myen Wartofsky"There is general agreement that these small, occult, and mostly papillary cancers are of little or no clinical significance"
