Size and biochemical assessment of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules. (A) The mean greatest dimension of the malignant hot thyroid nodules from our case series is compared with that from five published surgical cases series of solitary, hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules. (B) The proportion of subjects with scintigraphically-determined hyperfunctioning thyroid carcinoma (Tables 2) who have frank biochemical hyperthyroidism vs. subclinical hyperthyroidism, based on varying nodule size. Subjects are characterized as having nodules < 2.5 cm (A), 2.5 – 4.5 cm (B), and > 4.5 cm (C) in diameter.
