N2  -  Summary. Gender has been always cited among the relevant epidemiological variables to consider when studying thyroid diseases, but the relatively new approach of modern gender medicine contributes to adding new perspectives to the subject. The relevance and frequency of both functional and neoplastic thyroid disorders has prompted us to review the available findings in the literature and clinical practice, with no ambition to cover the entire breadth of the matter but to give a few hints to start a fresh and stimulating debate. For sure, further research is needed to establish better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies and implement them in daily clinical work-up, as a result of an effective mindset shift in our practice.
