Using ultrasounds, measurements of diameters and thyroid nodule volume were taken. We aspirated a total of 50% of the cystic content and injected between 2 mL and 5 mL of 99% ethanol (depending on cystic volume). After letting the ethanol act inside the nodule for 5 to 10 minutes, all the cystic content and the injected ethanol were aspirated. We performed an ultrasound follow-up at 1, 3 and 6 months, calculating the total volume and the volume reduction rate (VRR).
