Abstract
Globally, thyroid cancer incidence variesconventional wisdom holds that single thyroid nodules are more likely to be cancerous than many nodules. Data was gathered using a pre‐made Excel spreadsheetSPSS version 16 was used for statistical analysis. Quantitative variables were analysed using means and percentages. With the Chi square test, the statistical significance between the various groups was ascertained. P‐values less than 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. All patients (100%), anterior neck edoema was the most prevalent clinical manifestation. Pain (10% cases in the MNG group, 19.6% cases in the STN group) and dysphagia (8.1% cases in the MNG group, 13.1% cases in the STN group) were the next most common clinical presentations. None of these individuals had a family history of thyroid cancer or a history of neck radiation. We draw the conclusion that STN had a noticeably greater cancer prevalence than MNG. However, given that malignancy was also relatively common in MNG, individuals presenting with MNG should be evaluated for potential malignant foci in advance of surgery.
