Overview

Surgery

Partially cystic nodules that repeatedly yield nondiagnostic aspirates need close observation or surgical excision. Surgery should be more strongly considered if the cytologically nondiagnostic nodule is solid.

If a cytology result is diagnostic of or suspicious for PTC, surgery is recommended 65

For those patients with subsequent recurrent symptomatic cystic fluid accumulation, surgical removal, generally by hemithyroidectomy, or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) are both reasonable strategies

Recurrent cystic thyroid nodules with benign cytology should be considered for surgical removal or PEI based on compressive symptoms and cosmetic concerns.
