Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of malignancy in multinodular goiter patients undergoing thyroid surgery in our institution. Place and duration of study: This is a prospective study was done on patients in the Department of general surgery, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences Hospital Jamshoro, for the period of one year January 2011 to December 2011.

Results: Total 95 patients with male to female ratio of 1:8.5Out of these 95 patients. Males patients were 10 (10.5%) and females 85 (89.5%) with the mean age of 36.24.on histopathological ground, 88 (92.63%) patients were benign Multinodular Goiter and 7 (7.37%) patients were diagnosed as having malignancy. Females were affected more commonly then male with F: M ratio 6:1. Among them, papillary carcinoma is more is the more common 5 (71.4%) patients, 1(14..3%) patient having follicular carcinoma and 1(14.3%) patient was diagnosed as a Medullary carcinoma. Conclusion: The risk of malignancy in Multinodular Goiter has not to be under estimated, and that a dominant nodule in Multinodular Goiter should be valued and majority of the patients with thyroid cancers presents multinodular goiter.
