▼ Thyroid cancer can be associated with thyrotoxicosis caused by Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, or autonomously functioning thyroid adenoma. The objective of this study was to summarize current evidence regarding the association of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism, particularly with respect to the type of hyperthyroidism found in some patients, and whether this aff ects the outco...

Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas. Thyroid involvement is rare, with a prevalence of 1-4% in large series of autopsied patients with systemic sarcoid. We report a case of a 65-year-old woman with a nontoxic multinodular goiter, dyspnea in the supine position, and rightward tracheal deviation as the initial presentation of systemic sarcoidosis. Fi...

Aim: To compare patients with toxic and non-toxic nodular/multinodular goiter in terms of clinical, sonographical cytological features.
 Material Method: The medical data 326 were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical sonographic features examined. Four hundred eighty-one nodules compared sonographically cytologically. One twenty-four had nodular 202 them goiter.
 Results: group was olde...

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...

Results The main indication for surgery in all three groups was compression or risk of malignancy. Total thyroidectomy was the main procedure performed. Although benign multinodular goitre was the commonest diagnosis, the over 75-year-olds had fewer benign multinodular goitres than the 61–74 group and more malignancy than the other two groups. There was no significant difference in mortality be...

Large multinodular goiters, obvious to the naked eye, are rarely confronted by clinicians nowadays; yet they do have a place in the differential diagnosis of the neck masses. Due to the fact that 80% of the neck masses in adults are related to malignancy, the later should be ruled out.
