A Retrospective Study on Patients who Have Undergone Surgery For Goiter with Final Pathological Diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is common cause of hypothyroidism with goiter in Iodine sufficient regions due to chronic auto immune disease. Patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis present either a small diffuse goiter or markedly enlarged firm gland mimicking malignancy. These patients may have an associated dominant nodule, most commonly a benign colloid, adenomatous nodule, nodular thyroiditis, or a Hurthle cell nodule, and less commonly an associated malignancy. We studied the incidence, gender and age preponderance, clinical nature and functional status, indications and type of thyroidectomy done and clinical outcome following surgical management. During the study period, 428 cases of thyroidectomy surgeries were performed of which 63 patients were diagnosed to have Hashimoto‟s thyroiditis (14.72%). Even though Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis as a pathological entity rarely warrants surgical intervention,many clinicopathological conditions associated with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis may need surgery such as nodular goiter, malignancy, pressure symptoms. We analyzed the incidence of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in thyroidec to mised patients
