The characteristics of concomitant thyroid nodules cause false-positive ultrasonography results in primary hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

Background: Concomitant thyroid nodules are the most common reason for false-positive ultrasonography (US) results in primary hyperparathyroidism. The aims of this prospective clinical Study were to evaluate false-positive US results according to the characteristics of concomitant thyroid nodules and to determine which characteristics of thyroid nodules are important.
