Özet
Although thyroid surgery is mainly based on the malignancy risk; determination of cases with thyroid malignancy among the patients with enlarged thyroid is a controversial issue in children. To find out whether thyroid enlargements have any predictive clinical or laboratory characteristic for thyroid malignancy, a retrospective clinical study was scheduled.
