In statistical analyses the rate of malignancy of solitary cold thyroid nodules is estimated between 3 to 50%. In our records the incidence of malignancy is 6,6%. Concerning the pathogenicity of these thyroid nodules no conclusions can be drawn which are only based on the results of such analyses. Each thyroid nodule has to be classified either according to its clinical and morphological characteristics or to its morphology alone. The condition for an optimal diagnosis and therapy is provided by the surgeon and pathologist being acquainted with the criteria for morphological classification or clinical data respectively.
在统计分析中，孤立性冷甲状腺结节的恶性率估计在3%至50%之间。在我们的记录中，恶性发生率为6.6%。关于这些甲状腺结节的致病性，仅基于此类分析结果无法得出结论。每个甲状腺结节都必须根据其临床和形态学特征或仅根据其形态进行分类。外科医生和病理学家分别熟悉形态学分类标准或临床数据，这是实现最佳诊断和治疗的条件。
