Dr Mustafa Abdur Rahman, Dr Rupam Deori
Abstract :
INTRODUCTION
The name THYROID is derived from the Greek description of a shield shaped gland in the anterior aspect of the neck1.Its management of diseases forms a major share of head and neck surgery. Thyroid nodules may be benign or malignant and may present along with complications. An attempt has been made in the present study to study the spectrum of clinical manifestations of patients with thyroid nodule.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
. Total of 60 patients (>12years) were selected, in a span of 18 months, who had attended Outpatient Department in Assam Medical College with thyroid nodule, clinically, examined thoroughly.
RESULTS
In our study, only swelling in front of neck was present in 43(71.66%) patients, accompanied by pain in 7 patients(11.67%), respiratory difficulty in 5 patients(8.33%), dysphagia in 3 patients(5%) and change in voice in 2 patient(3.33%). 2 cases (3.33%) presented with hypothyroidism and 1case (1.67%) with hyperthyroidism
CONCLUSION
The malignancy rate was 18.33% which was much higher .It is mainly because the people here are less conscious and present for treatment only when they face problems in their daily day to day activities due to the swelling. Hence, long standing thyroid swelling led to higher malignancy rate.
