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 کاملAirway Obstruction Caused by Substernal Thyrotoxic Multinodular Goiter.
BACKGROUND Substernal thyrotoxic multinodular goiter (MNG) shows signs and symptoms as a result of compression of adjacent organs and thyrotoxicosis. However, acute airway obstruction is rarely caused by substernal thyrotoxic MNG. CASE REPORT We have described a 56-year-old Japanese woman who demonstrated acute airway obstruction because of compression of the airway by substernal thyrotoxic M...
متن کاملEctopic multinodular goiter: multidetector computed tomography findings.
The thyroid is the first endocrine gland to form during embryogenesis. At this stage, incomplete or anomalous migration of thyroid tissue causes ectopic localization of the gland. In our case, a 55-year-old woman who was evaluated via ultrasonography (USG) and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) had no thyroid gland at the normal location, but did have ectopic thyroid tissue in the left s...
متن کاملTrace elements status in multinodular goiter.
Importance of iodine and selenium in thyroid metabolism is well known, but the roles of other essential trace elements including copper, zinc, manganese and iron on thyroid hormone homeostasis remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of those trace elements in benign thyroid diseases and evaluate possible links between trace element concentrations and thyroid hormones...
متن کاملRecombinant human TSH and radioactive iodine therapy in the management of benign multinodular goiter.
Multinodular goiter (MNG) is a very common thyroid disorder determined by diverse goitrogenic factors, the most important one being iodine deficiency. The clinical presentation of a patient with MNG varies from a completely asymptomatic goiter to a life-threatening disease due to upper airway compression. Patients can develop underlying subclinical or overt hyperthyroidism due to autonomously h...
