Our data showed a malignancy rate of TIR3B lesions higher than expected (48%). Both TT and HT seem to be effective approaches for the treatment of TIR3B nodules with a very low rate of post-surgical comorbidities. In the choice of surgical approach, it is crucial to consider the presence of risk factors (clinical and ultrasound characteristics), nodule size, patients' opinion, and surgeon's skills and experience.
