Abstract :

Background: Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine disorder seen in clinical practice. Among them thyroid nodules are common in clinical practice. There may be solitary within a normal thyroid gland or dominant within a multi–nodular goitre. Aims & Objectives: To compare the study of various thyroid disorders in solitary thyroid nodule and multi–nodular goitre. Materials & Methods: In this study, cases with 100 clinically palpable thyroid nodules that were admitted in Vishwabharathi Medical College and general hospital, Kurnool were taken. Ultrasound was performed in all cases and results were verified. FNAC was performed in all cases and the results were correlated with subsequent histopathological reports. Indirect laryngoscopy was done for all the cases. Results: Most of the Nodules are firm in consistency (74%) and Hard (17%), Cystic (9%). Cervical lymph node is absent in most of the cases (76%) and present in less number (24%). Reports showed benign (82%), malignant (18%). Histopathology reports showed most of the cases were Adenomas (24%) and Colloid goiter (52%). Conclusion: Incidence of solitary nodule and Multi–nodular goiter is more common in females than males. Colloid goiter is the most common type of non neoplastic disease entity noted in our study. Follicular adenoma is the most common neoplasm. Papillary carcinoma is the most common malignancy of thyroid.
