Abstract
Thyroid nodules are common and often asymptomatic. However, patients may seek treatment for nonfunctional benign nodules that cause compressive symptoms or cosmetic problems. Additionally, many patients with autonomously functioning nodules also seek treatment. As minimally invasive thermal ablation techniques become more wide spread, providers offering these treatments should be familiar with the pathophysiology of thyroid nodules, and with how to work up a patient with nodular thyroid disease.
