Abstract: To investigate the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in patients with nontoxic multinodular goiter (MNG) compared to that in patients with solitary nodule (SN).From Jan 2006 to Dec 2011,761 patients underwent thyroid surgery were included in the retrospective study.According to pathology,patients were subdivided into two groups,MNG and SN.Preoperative thyroid profiles were correlated with patients' postoperative diagnoses.In whole group,the risk of PTC was significantly lower in MNG than in SN (7.09％ vs 15.58％,P =0.000 9).In patients with nontoxic multinodular goiter,the risk of PTC was lower compared to that of those with SN.
