Large 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...
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 کاملHyperfunctioning thyroid nodules in toxic multinodular goiter share activating thyrotropin receptor mutations with solitary toxic adenoma.
Toxic multinodular goiter is a cause of nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism and is believed to differ in its nature and pathogenesis from toxic adenoma. Gain-of-function mutations of the TSH receptor gene have been identified as a cause of toxic adenoma. The pathogenesis at the molecular level of hyperfunctioning nodules in toxic multinodular goiter has yet not been reported. Six patients with a sing...
متن کاملAnaplastic carcinoma and toxic multinodular goiter: an unusual presentation.
A 70-year-old male was referred with hyperthyroidism and multinodular goiter (MNG). Thyroid ultrasonography showed 2 nodules, one in the isthmus and the other in the left lobe, 51 and 38 mm in diameter, respectively. Neck CT showed a large MNG, thyroid scintigraphy showed increased uptake in the nodule in the left lobe, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed a benign cytology of the nodule in...
