[Management of an isolated thyroid nodule or a heterogeneous nodular goiter, when thyroid scintigraphy is not available (Tahiti)].
Thyroidal nodes (non-cystic) always put forward some difficult decision. As a matter of fact, it would not be reasonable to undergo each time a surgical operation, but it would be catastrophic to abstain wrongly. When scintigraphy and mainly cyto-puncture are feasible, so a coherent decision can be taken. When they are not possible and when only ultrasonography is available, we propose that a decision be taken according to a comprehensive approach although each argument being individually disputable.
