Background: Most common endocrine disorders seen globally are Thyroid disorders which pose a high burden on the health care sector globally including in India. Assessing these disorders definitively is a challenging condition for treating physicians as no single definitive test exists for confirmatory diagnosis of thyroid disorders. However, various clinical, FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology), and histopathologic tests can be done to diagnose these disorders. Histopathology remains the gold standard for confirmatory diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Aims: The present retrospective clinical study was conducted to assess the incidence and prevalence of thyroid disorders along with the indications of Thyroid surgeries in Indian subjects. Materials and Methods: In 50 subjects with thyroid nodules who underwent thyroidectomy, clinical data were retrospectively collected and assessed concerning clinical and histopathologic parameters of the thyroid nodule. The collected data were assessed to form results and were expressed as mean, number, and percentage. Results: Most common finding was movement with deglutition seen in 98% (n=49) subjects followed by laryngeal crepitus in 84% (n=42) subjects, mobility in 78% (n=39) subjects, tenderness in 20% (n=10) subjects, and pressure effect and neck nodes in 2% (n=1) subject each.
