Objective: Percutaneous laser ablation (PLA) is a new procedure utilized to decrease nodule volume in symptomatic thyroid nodules, to provide euthyroidism in autonomous hyperfunctioning nodules, and to decrease compressive symptoms palliatively in malignant nodules. Standard treatment in autonomous thyroid nodules is radioiodine and surgery. In this report, we aimed to present this case to demonstrate changes in nodule histopathology, which was undergone thyroidectomy two year...
