Abstract
The guidelines presented do not pretend to be a systematic presentation of all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of nodular goiter and are not intended to replace guidelines for various medical disciplines. In real clinical practice, situations may arise that are beyond the scope of the recommendations presented, in connection with which the final decision regarding a specific patient and responsibility for him lies with the attending physician.
The recommendations presented are mainly devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of nodular (multinodular) euthyroid colloid, differently proliferating goiter in adults (over 18 years of age) and are the agreed opinion of the RAE experts who developed them. Nodular (multinodular) toxic goiter, tumors (malignant and benign), as well as other diseases that can manifest themselves by nodular formations of the thyroid gland (thyroid gland), are discussed mainly in the context of differential diagnosis. The recommendations also do not affect the features of diagnosis and treatment of nodular goiter in children and adolescents.
