This paper aims to describe the followed population in the consultation, through a retrospective study in a hospital unit. This retrospective study was carried out during February 2020 to February 2022, and analyses the clinical processes of the patients that were followed in this consultation, and later analysing the data using Microsoft Excel® Over these two years, 395 patients were observed. These patients age average 61 years old, ranging from 17 to 93 years of age. Most patients (83.80%) are female. The most prevalent pathology was thyroid nodule (20.60%), followed by multinodular goiter (20.20%), multinodular thyroid (19.20%), hypothyroidism (14.00%), hyperthyroidism (9.80%), autoimmune thyroiditis (6.40%). The least frequently observed pathologies were thyroid neoplasia (0.40%), myxedema (0.60%), goiter (1.80%), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (2.00%), substernal goiter (2.40%) and Graves’ disease (2.60%). 51.14% of the patients underwent aspiration puncture of the nodule. In the majority (87.62%) this nodule was Bethesda category I/II. During the analyzed period, 27.34% of the patients were discharged, 2.03% were referred to the endocrinology consultation at the central reference hospital and 2.03% to the surgery consultation. Thyroid pathology is a multifactorial disease, that mainly affects women and elderly people. There are many diseases that affect the thyroid. These diseases afflictions range from functional deficits to autoimmune pathologies. The most prevalent is the presence of nodules, in patients with or without goiter. This particular result goes against what was observed in our previous statistical work. Despite this, and since biopsies were carried out in most patients, it is important to note that in this specific sample, only two patients were identified with neoplasia.
