Myasthenia gravis associated with thymoma and toxic multinodular goiter. A case report.
Adequate antithyroid drug treatment or surgery usually generates remission of myasthenia gravis (MG) in patients with thymus hyperplasia associated with Graves' hyperthyroidism. The case of a 46-year-old woman diagnosed with MG based on the clinical picture, anticholinesterase drug test and positive electromyography (EMG) is presented. The cervico-thoracic computer tomography revealed a compres...
متن کاملMultinodular Goiter Presenting as a Retropharyngeal Mass: a Case Report
usually presents as a non-tender anterior neck mass. Asymptomatic patients may be treated medically, which often reduces the size of the gland or avoids progression of the disease. Neglected or ineffectively treated cases may grow beyond the confines of the gland, which primarily occurs caudally into the mediastinum. Cranial extension of the goiter into the retropharygeal space is a very rare p...
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 کاملUpToDate®: 'Treatment of toxic adenoma and toxic multinodular goiter'
There are two clinical situations in which establishing the diagnosis of a toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter is more difficult. First, the autonomously functioning tissue may be sufficiently diffuse that it is difficult to differentiate a toxic multinodular goiter from Graves' disease by thyroid scintigraphy alone. When it is important to distinguish these disorders, a high serum conce...
متن کاملLarge Multinodular Toxic Goiter: Is Surgery Always Necessary?
Patients suffering from multinodular toxic goiter (MNTG) are candidates to thyroidectomy or radioiodine 131I (131I) therapy. Thyroidectomy may be preferable especially when the volume of hyperfunctioning tissue is so large that a single administration of 131I is unlikely to cure the patient in terms of nodule's volume reduction and thyroid function. We describe the case of a 71-year-old man suf...
