Abstract :

 

Introduction:  Thyroid cancers accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies in developed  countries with an estimated annual incidence of 1,22,000 cases worldwide.Thyroid enlargements may be diffuse or nodular, often with physiological changes . Thyroid nodules are more common in women and in regions of low intake of iodine .

Materials & Methods: The present study is a prospective and retrospective study done for a period of two years. All the clinical history, radiological examination  details were collected. Specimens were sent to department of Pathology after surgical excision for histopathological examination. Sections were taken and observed carefully for microscopic examination.

Results: Multinodular goitre constitiuted highest number of cases among all the different lesions. Among the malignant lesions, Papillary carcinoma thyroid (PCT) was the most common neoplasm constituting 7 cases, followed by Follicular carcinoma of thyroid 3 cases and Medullary carcinoma thyroid and anaplastic carcinoma thyroid each one case. Females are more affected than males in our study  and the age group between 31–40 years constituted highest number of cases.

Conclusion: Enlargement of thyroid is one of the common day to day problem. All cases of enlarged thyroid should be evaluated with hormonal study and  also should compare with radiological and cytological studies also. Even small thyroid nodules may be missed as malignancies which may metastasis also. Multinodular goitre was the most common benign lesion and Papillary carcinoma thyroid was the most common malignant disorder observed in our study. Females are more affected compared to males.
