Abstract
Objective: To establish a significant predominance of thyroid lesions in outpatient department of a tertiary care centre in west of Maharashtra. Materials and methods: This was a hospital based analytical prospective study, conducted in outpatient Department Of Otolaryngology, Rajiv Gandhi Medical College and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Thane, Maharashtra, India; involving 240 patients. The study was carried over duration of 2 years from January 2010 to January 2012. Patients attending endocrinologic clinics and the newly detected cases of thyroid lesions, within set parameters of study, were the subjects of this study. The principal complaint of all patients was neck swelling. Results: Out of 240 cases 36 cases (15%) were diagnosed as thyrotoxicosis. Others were multinodular goiter (20%), myxedema (18.3%), diffuse goiter (25%), thyroiditis (11.66%) and thyroid carcinoma (10%). From above observations it was obvious that among the thyroid swellings 90% cases were benign and 10% cases were malignant. Conclusion: It is concluded that even though the number of malignant goiters are increased recently, still benign thyroid swellings are more common. It is also observed thyroid swellings more commonly seen in female population. Similar to previous studies, we have found that papillary carcinoma is the most common type of thyroid.
