Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between calcifications in the thyroid gland and malignant thyroid lesions. Results: Microcalcifications were found in 54 patients (31.95 %). Macrocalcification was found in one patient (0.59 %).Malignancy was determined in 29 patients (17.16 %). The rate of malignancy in patients with calcifications was 17/55 (30.9 1%). The diagnosis was nodular colloidal goiter in 38 patients (38/55, 69.09 %) with calcifications. The rate of calcification in malignant patients was 17/29 (58.62 %). The rate of malignancy in patients without calcification was 12/114 (10.52 %). T he difference between the rate of malignancy in patients with calcification and the rate of malignancy in patients without calcification was statistically significant (Z-test, p < 0.001).
