Abstract
Benign nodular goiter is a frequently encountered endocrine disorder during routine clinical practice, especially in countries like India where iodine deficiency is endemic. Here, we present the case history of a 55-year- old male who presented with a large thyroid swelling. Investigations revealed it to be colloid goiter. The right hemithyroidectomy under general anesthesia was done. Post-operative period was uneventful. Hence, in this article, we discuss management of thyroid nodules which depend on assessment of thyroid function, fine-needle aspiration cytology, and imaging. For such nodules, surgery is the most common method of treatment.
