Abstract :

Background– Thyroid gland diseases can be Pathologically classified into Nonneoplastic and Neoplastic lesions.The present study is carried out to study the Spectrum of NonneoplasticThyroid diseases in our surgical unit by analyzing the histopathological data of Thyroid specimens in our institute.

Material and methods– This retrospective study is carried out in Department of general surgery &Department of Pathology, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The study period is from October 2017 to March 2018. The Data collected during the study period is from August 2015 to July 2017 i.e., for a period of 2 years.

Results–.A Total of 120Nonneoplastic specimens of thyroid werereceived in our institute in a span of 2 years. Out of 120,107 (89.16%) are Females and 13 (10.84%) are Males giving F: M ratio of 8.23: 1. The age range is 11years to 73 years with mean age of 38.88 years and the relative peak age of incidence is seen in 21–40 years age group. Nodular Goiter constitute 65% (n=78) of all the Nonneoplastic lesions of thyroid.

Conclusion– Nonneoplastc thyroid lesions are common in females. In our study,Females predominate in all NonneoplasticThyroid diseases except in Thyroglossal cyst. Females presented with Nonneoplastic diseases at an early age where as males presented at a later age in our study. The commonest NonneoplasticThyroid condition for which patient gets operated is Nodular Goiter.
