[The surgical treatment of the nodular goiter].
Annali italiani di chirurgia, 2008 The simple nodular goiter, the etiology of which is multifactorial, encompasses the spectrum from the incidental asymptomatic small solitary nodule to the large intrathoracic goiter, causing pressure symptoms as well as cosmetic complaints. The mainstay in the diagnostic evaluation is related to functional and morphological characterization with serum ...

THE TREATMENT OF NODULAR GOITER
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1952THE clinical course of nodular goiter is varied. The thyroid nodule may remain unchanged for long periods of time; it may grow and exert pressure on neighboring structures; it may degenerate or be the site of hemorrhage; it may be neoplastic and infiltrate adjacent tissues or metastasize; rarely it may hyperfunction within itself, or, more commonly, be

Abstract The treatment of choice for congenital goiter causing respiratory obstruction is thyroidectomy. This operation should be as radical in children as in adults. X-ray therapy to the thymus gland may be hazardous and internal irradiation with radioactive iodine is accompanied by a striking increase in the incidence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis ...

THE possibility that the mechanical action of neck muscles can, in rare cases, sever a projecting portion of the thyroid gland has been recognized for over fifty years.1 This process is most likely to occur in a nodular colloid goiter. Cases of colloid nodules separate from the thyroid gland were excluded from several series describing the malignant so-

THE EVOLUTION OF NODULAR GOITER
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1953SIMPLE goiter occurs sporadically all over the world and in the form of endemic goiter affects millions of people in every continent, as a recent World Health Organization conference1 so clearly showed. Simple goiter almost inevitably progresses to the nodular form, and thus a clear knowledge of how these nodules arise and what changes they may undergo

The Problem of the Nodular Goiter
Medical Clinics of North America, 1991Nodular goiter is a worldwide problem involving millions of persons. Endemic goiter, and associated cretinism, is totally preventable by ensuring an adequate dietary iodine intake and eliminating malnutrition and dietary goitrogens. Therapy, on the other hand, is difficult in that the goiters often do not regress and the cretinoid changes are ...

Nodular Goiter and Thyroid Cancer
New England Journal of Medicine, 1948IN THE therapeutic attack on malignant tumors in general, the accumulated experience of generations has established as virtually axiomatic certain well defined principles. The first is the folly of attempting to arrive at a diagnosis by observation of the continued growth of a tumor or area of nodularity until its malignant nature is clear and ...

Nodular Goiter and Thyroid Cancer
New England Journal of Medicine, 1958THE practice of removing a nodule or multiple nodules from the thyroid gland for the prevention of cancer has been challenged in recent years. The justification for this procedure arose from the concept, held for many years, that a large proportion of thyroid cancers arose from a pre-existing adenoma or from multiple nodular goiters. Regardless of this

The Evolution of Toxic Nodular Goiter
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1964In 1913 Plummer differentiated exophthalmic goiter from toxic adenomatous goiter on the basis of clinical observations on 2,000 operated cases.1He recognized that the former might be superimposed on any stage of endemic goiter, with resultant problems in differential diagnosis that might be difficult to resolve on either clinical or pathological ...
