摘要
Thyroid nodules are a common condition and family medicine clinicians are likely to encounter them not least as incidental findings from a variety of imaging modalities. Most of these nodules are benign but often investigations will need to be undertaken to exclude malignancy. Therefore, family medicine clinicians will need to know how to manage thyroid nodules, including how to assess for malignancy, including an understanding of the investigations required and what follow up is necessary.
