Comment on: Association of SUVmax with Malignancy in Focal FDG-Avid Thyroid Incidentalomas

Öz

This correspondence discusses the study by Öztop et al. regarding the diagnostic utility of SUVmax in focal FDG-avid thyroid incidentalomas. While the authors identify a significant correlation between metabolic activity and malignancy, the moderate diagnostic performance of SUVmax (AUC: 0.748) suggests limitations as a standalone tool. Furthermore, the reported lack of association between ultrasonographic (US) features and malignancy may be attributed to a constrained sample size. In our larger cohort study, both individual US characteristics and structured risk stratification systems (e.g., EU-TIRADS) demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy (AUC: 0.901). These findings emphasize that integrating metabolic parameters with standardized morphological assessments provides a more robust framework for clinical decision-making in thyroid incidentalomas.
