Thyroid carcinoma in Sendai, Japan.

چکیده
The reported prevalence of occult carcinomas of the thyroid gland varies considerably. The thyroid glands in unselected autopsies revealed 24% occult carcinomas in the Japanese living in Hawaii (Fukunaga and Lockett 1971) and 17.9% of native Japanese in the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) study in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan (Sampson et al. 1969). American reports, however, revealed only a 0.45 to 4.0% prevalence (Hazard and Kaufman 1952; Mortensen et al. 1954; Brierre and Dickson 1964; Farooki 1969a, b). This variation may be due in part to the lack of standardized methods of examination and different diagnostic criteria. Only grossly recognized lesions were examined in the American series. Hazard and Kaufman sectioned the glands at 1 to 3 mm intervals and removed grossly identified lesions for histologic examination (Hazard and Kaufman 1952). Mortensen et al. (1954) cut the glands at 2 mm intervals and removed representative nodules for histologic sectioning. Brierre and Dickson (1964) identified lesions grossly by transillumination using an x-ray viewbox. Farooki (1969a) sectioned the glands at 3 mm intervals and examined microscop ically only grossly abnormal areas. Sampson et al. (1969) sliced the glands at 2 to 3 mm intervals and examined microscopically all nodules which were defined as areas that differed in color and consistency from the surrounding gland. However, one group of glands at the ABCC was serially sliced at 3 to 4 mm intervals and
