Histopathological Study in Patients with Enlarged Thyroid gland

Abstract

The aim of this research was to scrutinize the histomorphological evaluation of thyroid lesions in linkage to age and sex of the individuals. Materials and methods: This study evaluate the information from 46 thyroidectomy specimens received from october2018 to April 2019 at the Department of cytology, Al-khansaa teaching hospital and laboratory of Mohammed Abdul–Aziz Hayawi. Results: among these 38(82.60%) were from females and 8 (17.39%) were from males with male to female ratio 1:4.5 .The patients age ranged from 1 to 70 years . The large number of lesions are non-neoplastic, found 82.60% (n=38) cases and neoplastic lesions found 17.39% (n=8) cases. Non toxic goiter was the majority lesion approximately 68.42% of all non-neoplastic lesions and about 56.5% of all thyroid lesions. Among other non-neoplastic lesions 5 patients of thyroiditis and three patients of thyroglossal duct cyst were showed. There were 1 malignant tumors and 7 benign tumors in neoplastic lesions. Through the non malignant tumors 3 were follicular adenoma and 1 was Hurthle cell adenoma. Medullary carcinoma was cancer type occur in 1 patients. Conclusion: Our research confirms that non neoplastic type are much widespread in this organ biopsies in contrast to neoplastic type.
