Resumen

Introducción La patología nodular tiroidea es muy frecuente y, en la mayoría de los casos (más del 85%), se trata de nódulos benignos. Manifestaciones clínicas La mayor parte de los pacientes con enfermedad nodular tiroidea están asintomáticos. El objetivo principal del estudio del nódulo tiroideo es descartar o diagnosticar malignidad, sin olvidarnos de la función tiroidea y de la posibilidad de compresión de estructuras cervicales vecinas. Diagnóstico La historia clínica, la determinación de TSH y la ecografía cervical son los estudios iniciales que hay que realizar en todos los pacientes. La ecografía tiroidea es el mejor método de imagen para estudiar esta patología, porque además de los datos anatómicos nos proporciona características que se asocian con el riesgo de malignidad. Esto, junto con el tamaño de los nódulos, nos permitirá seleccionar aquellos en los que está indicado el estudio citológico. La citología es el método de elección para diagnosticar el nódulo tiroideo. También se pueden realizar estudios moleculares para ayudar al diagnóstico. Tratamiento Según el resultado citológico, el paciente será remitido a cirugía o únicamente vigilado sin necesidad de tratamiento; si el estudio no es concluyente deberemos repetir la punción.
