[The diagnostics of nodular goiter in children and adolescents].
The authors give an analysis of preoperative diagnostics of nodular tumors of the thyroid gland in 105 children and adolescents. It was shown that there are no special techniques allowing an absolute exclusion of malignant growth in the thyroid nodule before operation. The most accurate method of investigation in differential diagnostics of thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents is thought to be fine-needle aspiration biopsy under USI control. The sensitivity of the method was 83.3%, the specificity - 98%.
