Thyroid Malignancies In Patients With Graves’ Disease
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 43, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder. Concurrent Graves’ disease with primary thyroid malignancies has been reported at an increasing frequency. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of primary thyroid malignancies among thyroidectomy specimens with Graves’ disease examined in our department. Methods: The slides of forty patients, which underwent thyroidectomy due to Graves’ disease, were reevaluated in between 2010 to 2016. Results: 11 of 40 thyroidectomy specimens (27.5%) had primary thyroid malignancy. All malignancies were papillary carcinoma. The prevalence of malignancy was significantly higher in cases of Graves’ disease with macroscopic or microscopic nodule than in Graves’ patients without nodule (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study also showed that the Graves’ disease with nodule had more risk of thyroid malignancy. The patients with concurrent Graves’ disease and thyroid nodule should be carefully examined clinically, radiological, and pathologically for thyroid cancer. Key words: Graves’ disease, thyroid carcinoma, incidental
