Abstract
Large lesions are often malignant and call for prompt resection. Small lesions are likely to be benign but nonetheless raise difficult questions. For example, how to estimate the potential for malignancy? Or, how to weigh the possible effectiveness of an aggressive surgical approach against possible complications? Probability techniques can provide support for clinical judgment.Keywords
