Journal Title: National Journal of Integrated Research in Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background & objectives: Multinodular goitre is probably the most common endocrine problem in the world today. Neither a well formulated nor a simple procedure is available for the management of MNG, hence the need for the present study. The aim was to study the various modes of presentation, the distribution with respect to age and sex and the usefulness of histological evaluation. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 100 cases of thyroid lesions during the period of April 2009 to October 2010. Results: Adenomatous goiter was found to be the commonest lesion with a frequency of 52 cases (52%).Most of the patients were female accounting for 90.39%. Most of the cases (53.85%) were noted in 21-40 years age group. Commonest presentation was swelling in front of the neck noted in 98% of cases. Conclusion: Commonest histological observation in the present study was adenomatous goitre in 52%. Majority of the patients were females with a M:F ratio of 1:9.4, with the commonest age group being 31-40 yrs. Almost all patients presented with swelling in front of the neck, with other complaints being that of pain, discomfort, dysphagia, dyspnoea and features of hyperthyroidism [ Prajapati V et al NJIRM 2012; 3(2) : 65-68].
