Surgical Management of Multinodular Goiter With Compression Symptoms

Surgical management of multinodular goiter with compression symptoms.

HYPOTHESIS Multinodular goiter (MG) with compression symptoms has a clinical profile different from that of goiter without these symptoms. The surgical treatment of MG with compression symptoms has a high rate of sternotomy and morbidity. DESIGN Retrospective study conducted between 1970 and 1999. SETTING Tertiary referral center.

Patient outcomes following surgical management of multinodular goiter

BACKGROUND the difference in the risk of thyroid malignancy for patients with multinodular goiter (MNG) and solitary nodular goiter (SNG) remains controversial. Although total thyroidectomy (TT) is the current preferred surgical option for MNG, permanent hypothyroidism in these patients may be a concern. Therefore, we discuss whether nontotal thyroidectomy is a reasonable alternative surgical o...

Multinodular Goiter Hot Nodules with Amazing Shape of Thyroid

A 45-year-old female presented with symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hot nodules in the right lobe, which was diagnosed as nodular goiter by fine-needle aspiration. An anomalous thyroidectomy and difficult dissection with multiple rotations were performed around the trachea. As a remark, the pathology confirmed the presence of goiter with modular nodules (Figure 1). A macroscopic photograph show...

A Review of the Pathogenesis and Management of Multinodular Goiter

Congenital thyroid hemiagenesis with multinodular goiter

Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare form of thyroid dysgenesis characterized by an absence of half of the thyroid gland. Developmental hemi-thyroid anomalies can result from either an abnormal descent or an agenesis of one lobe of the thyroid gland. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with history of a longstanding gradually progressive thyroid swelling without any complication. An ultrasonograp...
