Demonstration of nodules in the normal thyroid by echography

J Woestyn et al. Br J Radiol. 1985 Dec.

Abstract

An ultrasound examination was performed of the normal thyroid in 300 patients (164 males and 136 females). Small echoic nodules were demonstrated in 19% of the patients and fluid-filled masses in 6%. Echoic nodules occurred frequently (greater than 40%) in the seventh decade. 71% of the nodules were situated in the right lobe.
