Recently, using ultrasonography, we observed that the right lobe usually is larger compared with the left thyroid lobe. Since the higher cell number in a larger right lobe may confer a higher tumor risk, we investigated the location of benign and malignant lesions to test the hypothesis of a more frequent occurrence in this lobe. In 1,001 consecutive patients with benign thyroid lesions, tumors more frequently occurred in the right lobe (+21.5%, p = 0.0022). Furthermore, in 1,277 thyroid cancer patients with 1,302 thyroid cancers, the right lobe more often harbored the tumor initially (+22.9%, p = 0.0009). Our data show a larger proportion of both benign and malignant tumors in the right thyroid lobe.
