Abstract
|
|
|
Retrospective clinical analysis was carried out on 208 patients with thyroid nodule.
One hundred and three cases had benign nodule and there were 105 cases with thyroid cancer, patients at their thirties and fort5ies exhibited peak incidence and female predominance was remarkable(8 : 1). Period of medical management before
surgery
was
variable from 1 month to 3 years. Fine needle aspiration cytology was valuable diagnostic tool but its reliability was limited in follicular neoplasms.
Unilateral lobectomy with isthmectomy was the preferred operative procedure in benign disease while total or near total thyroidectomy was undertaken for thyroid cancers. Adenomatous goiter was the most common disease entity of benign thyroid
nodule
followed by diffuse toxic goiter and follicular adenoma. Larger proportion of follicular carcinoma(31.4%) in thyroid cancer was the remarkable findings in our study.
