Résumé : Excepting the presence of a compressive syndrome, there are no objective reasons for proposing a surgical resection exclusively based on size alone for large (3-4 or 5cm), cytologically benign nodules. A large size itself is neither a risk factor for malignancy nor does it result in a significantly larger number of falsenegative results based on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Only a suspicious ultrasound appearance is likely to significantly increase the risk of falsenegative results and should, in some cases, suggest performing either a new fine-needle aspiration cytology or diagnostic surgery.
