The development of Grave’s ophthalmopathy following radioiodine treatment for Grave’s disease is well recognized. However, development of Grave’s ophthalmopathy following radioiodine therapy given for toxic adenoma or toxic nodular goiter has been reported but very rarely. Hereby, we reported a case of a 69-year-old male patient who developed ophthalmopathy after receiving 30 mCi (1110 mBq) 131...

The present opinions on the therapy with L-thyroxine (L-T4) of non-toxic multinodular, as well as of non-toxic thyroid nodules are rather divergent. This treatment is based on the suppression of TSH secretion from the pitu-

Upper tracheal obstruction, stridor and dispnea developed in a 53 year-old woman because of a large calcified benign goiter. There was a mass of 3 to 4 cm in size with calcification located on the right side of trachea and in the substernal region on the chest roentgenography. CT revealed bilaterally nodular substernal goiter and tracheal compression with the calcified nodule. Cytological findi...

Thyroid nodules occur frequently, are more common in women, and the incidence increases with age for both sexes. Clinically normal thyroid glands commonly contain nodules in autopsy series. In 20to 50-year-old females, as high as 50% of the thyroid glands are nodular, whereas in males the incidence approaches 30% (I). When the prevalence of clinically palpable thyroid nodules was the objective ...

BACKGROUND Use of recombinant human thyrotropin increases the thyroid radioiodine (iodine 131 [(131)I]) uptake and may have a role in the context of (131)I therapy of benign goiter. METHODS In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 57 patients with nodular nontoxic goiter (51 women and 6 men) were randomized to receive either 0.3 mg of recombinant human thyrotropin (n = 28) or placebo (n =...

We report a case of chronic idiopathic urticaria associated with nodular goiter and Graves disease. The urticaria resolved with normalization of the thyroid function.
