Abstract:
Although thyroid nodules are less common in children than in adults，some benign nodules enlarge with age，causing symptoms or aesthetic concerns. Preserving thyroid function is crucial due to its role in children's growth and development. Thermal ablation，a safe and minimally invasive technique，offers a new option for treating benign thyroid nodules in children. This article reviewed the indications，methods，outcomes，and complication management of thermal ablation，in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.
