The carcinoma of thyroid were composed of 12 papillary, 3 follicular, and 1 mixed papillary follicular cancer. The 16 patients were followed up for 2 months 9 years, showing they were all alive and healthy. Conclusions In order to avoid delaying the treatment of thyroid cancer, the following thyroiditis with thyroid nodule should be operated earlier: (1) The nodule in thyroditis didn't alter to smaller and shows a tendency to be enlarge after systematic drug therapy. (2) the cold nodule is of cold character in SPECT but solid in ultrasound.
