All patients were subjected to thyroid profile, USG & FNAC examination.
Results: The peak age at presentation of solitary nodule thyroid was 3rd to 5th decade, constituting about 43(78%) of the cases .It was more common in females with the ratio M:F(49/6) = 1:8.16 and  in euthyroid state(95%).  Its commonest presentation was swelling in front of neck and maximum had duration of symptoms between 1-2 years. 28 (50.9%) presented with nodule in right lobe of the thyroid gland and 27(49.1%) in the left lobe. Most of the patients 31(56.4%), were presented with the size of about 3 to 5 cm. Its Common causes were MNG (33%), follicular adenoma(25%) and adenomatous goitre(25%).
