Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorder seen in clinical practice and solitary thyroid nodule is one of presentations disease. This study aimed at profiling cases with respect to incidence nodule, age, gender, benign malignant proportions set a clinically applicable approach evaluation management. prospective followed 30 over 2 years. It showed that almost 20 percent all nodule...

we studied the clinical, radioisotopic, and pathologic characteristics and the incidence of cancer in clinically solitary cold nodules of the thyroid in an iodinedeficient area. the study included retrospective analysis of 765 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for a clinically single cold nodule in a ten-year period. we compared the pathological findings with clinical data. in pathological e...

Primary thyroid haemangioma is extremely rare, with only countable cases having been previously reported. We are reporting a case of 38-year-old male with history of diffuse thyroid swelling in front of the neck, which was firm to hard in consistency. Ultrasonography (USG) displayed an enlarged left thyroid with anechoic / isoechoic nodule and foci of coarse calcification. Preoperative clinical...

Although there is considerable controversy about the proper management of the solitary nodule, certain information may be useful in reaching this decision. Age, sex, and a previous history of external irradiation to the head and neck are helpful as are the clinical characteristics of the thyroid gland. Whether the nodule is functioning or "cold" on thyroid scan, and cystic or solid on thyroid u...

One hundred and thirty-one consecutive requests for thyroid scintigraphy were analysed to assess their diagnostic contribution to the subsequent medical management of the patient. Forty one per cent of requests were to investigate the presence of a clinically detectable solitary nodule and, of these, one fifth had hot nodules. Diffuse goitres accounted for 38% of all referrals, but in only two ...

A solitary skin metastasis is a rare manifestation of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A 55-year-old woman presented with a movable subcutaneous nodule in her anterior neck for several months. Three years ago, she underwent total thyroidectomy and remnant ablation for classical PTC (pT3N0M0) and was under thyroxine suppression therapy without any evidence of recurrent disease. The subcutaneou...

The objective was to analyze the results of UG-FNAB, performed in unselected consecutive patients with thyroid nodules. Methods. The UG-FNAB records were analyzed in this retrospective study. Indication for biopsy was the presence of at least one nodule detected by ultrasound. Results. 330 patients at mean age ± SD 48.4 ± 11.2 years; women/men = 12.8/1 were analyzed. From the total 596 nodules ...

It has been detected that the absence of thickening of isthmus and the solid nature of nodules, both had statistical significance in regard to predictivity of suspicious nodules. Although not statistically significant, there were differences in favour of malignancy between the groups when any of the parameters of solitary nodule, solid nature, loss of perinodular halo, hypoechoic nodule, and la...

Thyroid hemiagenesis (TH) is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually asymptomatic. Functional disorders of the thyroid make the patient symptomatic. TH is usually and incidentally established during evaluation of patients with symptomatic thyroid pathology. We report the case of a patient of TH who became symptomatic with hyperactivity of the gland. The patient presented with signs and sympto...
