Abstract

Background and Aim: THYROID nodule which is not detected by palpation but is diagnosed following a radiological procedure or during surgery is called THYROID INCIDENTALOMA. This study was designed to investigate prevalence of sonographic THYROID INCIDENTALOMA in ISFAHAN in 2006.Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 2523 ADULTs were randomly selected through cluster sampling method. 2045 of them had normal THYROID examination results; 234 of these were randomly selected for THYROID sonography. Their THYROID stimulating hormone (TSH) and urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) were measured.Results: Prevalence of THYROID INCIDENTALOMA was 13.2%. Age of people with and without INCIDENTALOMA was 46.1±12.4 and 38.4±12.1 respectively (P=0.002). The prevalence was higher in females than males (19% vs. 10%, P=0.002). Labor frequency in women with THYROID INCIDENTALOMA was higher than that of the healthy group (93.7% vs 58.8%, P=0.001). Levels of TSH were not different in the two groups. Median UIC in INCIDENTALOMA group (14 3g/dL: 2-40) was significantly lower than that in the healthy group (20 3g/dL: 1.8- 42), (P=0.02). Mean diameter of nodules was 8.14±3.43 mm.Conclusion: Prevalence of THYROID INCIDENTALOMA was 13.2% in ISFAHAN. This is similar to obtained results in other communities. The disorder was higher in females than in males and increased with age.
