Thyroid carcinoma in multinodular goiter
Background: It is suggested that hyperthyroidism protects against thyroid malignancy. It was suggested that the incidence of malignancy is lower in toxic multinodular goiters than in non-toxic multinodular goiters. Recent studies show controversies. Material and methods: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and type of thyroid carcinoma in toxic and nontoxic multinodular goiter i...
متن کاملMultinodular 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...
متن کاملCongenital 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...
متن کاملThyroid cancer in toxic and non-toxic multinodular goiter.
BACKGROUND Many authors have claimed that hyperthyroidism protects against thyroid cancer and believed that the incidence of malignancy is lower in patients with toxic multinodular goiter (TMG) than in those with non-toxic multinodular goiter. But in recent studies, it was reported that the incidence of malignancy with TMG is not as low as previously thought. AIM To compare the thyroid cancer...
متن کاملThe incidence of thyroid carcinoma in multinodular goiter: retrospective analysis.
Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is a relatively rare tumour, but it represents the most frequent form of cancer of the endocrine glands. Epidemiologically ascertained risk factors are ionising radiation, the presence of thyroid adenoma and multinodular goiter (MNG). Multinodularity of goiter should no longer be considered an indicator of probable benign disease. A retrospective analysis was performed on...
