Periodo 2017-2022.  Método:  Diseño retrospectivo, correlacional y observacional. La población y muestra estuvo conformada por 30 pacientes. Se analizaron los expedientes clínicos de todos los pacientes con presencia de algún nódulo tiroideo que fueron intervenidos por tiroidectomía. Se tomaron en cuenta las siguientes variables: Datos clínicos edad, sexo, tamaño de nódulo, estudio anatomopatológico, sistemas TIRADS y Bethesda.  Resultados: El estudio demostró que el promedio de edad fue de 42,15 años, con predominio del sexo femenino 93,3% y masculino 6,7%. En la localización de los nódulos hubo un predominio de bocio multinodular 60%, lóbulo derecho 26,67% y lóbulo izquierdo de 13,33%. Los resultados mostraron que 3 pacientes fueron clasificados como TIRADS 4, de estos, dos fueron Tirads 4a, cuya PAAF resultó cómo Bethesda II y Bethesda III. Mientras que el tercero fue Tirads 4b, siendo categorizado cómo Bethesda IV. Todos los TIRADS &lt; 4 resultaron ser 100% verdaderos negativos y los TIRADS &#8805; 4 resultaron ser verdaderos positivos.  Conclusión:  Se concluye que tanto el sistema TIRADS y el sistema Bethesda son efectivos para descartar la presencia de malignidad en nódulos tiroideos. El sistema TIRADS es ligeramente más sensible que el Bethesda en casos de nódulos tiroideos &#8805; 3 cm.]]></p></abstract>

Period 2017-2022.  Methods:  Retrospective, correlational and observational design. The population and sample consisted of 30 patients. The clinical records of all patients with the presence of a thyroid nodule who underwent thyroidectomy were analyzed. To evaluate the homogeneity of the study, sample the following variables were taken into account: clinical data, age, sex, nodule size, anatomopathological study, TIRADS and Bethesda systems.  Results:  The study showed that the average age was 42.15 years, with a predominance of female 93.3% and male 6.7%. In the location of the nodules there was a predominance of multinodular goiter 60%, right lobe 26.67% and left lobe 13.33%. The results showed that 3 patients were classified as Tirads 4, of these, two were TIRADS 4a, whose FNA was Bethesda II and Bethesda III. While the third was Tirads 4b, being categorized as Bethesda IV. All TIRADS &lt;4 were 100% true negative and TIRADS &#8805; 4 were true positive at the final biopsy.  Conclusion:  It is concluded that both the TIRADS system and the Bethesda system are effective in ruling out the presence of malignancy in thyroid nodules. The TIRADS system is slightly more sensitive than Bethesda in cases of thyroid nodules &#8805; 3 cm.]]></p></abstract>
