Abstract

Introduction: The diagnosis and treatment of patients with thyroid node, are a clinical, instrumental, imagenological and pathological challenge, and although it does not represent a health problem in Cuba, it affects an important populational group, fundamentally in working periods.

Results: In the series the 40-49 year-old women , those affected of mestizo and black skin, the increase of volume of the gland, the nodules hypoechogenic and the papillary tumor prevailed, besides the capsular infiltration and the vascular permeabilization among the  most common histological prognosis factors.
