Patients aged 18\u201383 were included, and MRI findings were screened for thyroid incidentalomas. Further assessments included neck ultrasound (US) and serum thyrotropin (TSH) analysis to evaluate thyroid function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 194 images reviewed, 190 met inclusion criteria, with 128 (67.4%) showing thyroid incidentalomas. Subsequent ultrasound examinations in 28 patients confirmed findings consistent with MRI in 17 cases (60.7%). Of fine-needle aspiration biopsies performed, 38.89% were benign, while 11.11% were classified as atypia or follicular lesions of undetermined significance, ultimately diagnosed as papillary cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study underscores the high prevalence of thyroid incidentalomas in imaging performed for unrelated conditions and highlights their potential malignancy risk. Increased awareness among medical professionals is crucial for timely identification and management.
