Material and Methods:This retrospective, analytical study done in operated patients who are admitted for clinically benign multinodular goiter in Fr Muller medical college Hospital during 2012-2013 (2yrs).All the operated specimen sent for histopathological examination to rule out malignancy. Results: Among 182 operated specimen 15 (8.2%) contained malignant foci. Papillary carcinoma is the most common malignancy observed. Conclusion:The risk of malignancy in MNG should not tobe underestimated. Total/near total thyroidectomy is the preferred operation.
