Management of nontoxic multinodular goitre
, 2011 Abstract Goitres can be classified according to thyroid function into toxic goitres, hypothyroid goitres, and euthyroid or nontoxic goitres (see Chapter 3.5.1). The most prevalent causes of nontoxic goitre are endemic (iodine-deficient) goitre and sporadic nontoxic goitre (diffuse or nodular).

Risk factors for malignancy in multinodular goitres
European Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2004Multinodular goitre (MNG) is quite often associated with thyroid carcinoma, but the risk factors for malignancy are not well known. The aim is to analyse patients with thyroid carcinoma associated with MNG to determine the clinical risk factors for malignancy.From a series of 672 MNGs we analysed a subgroup of 59 patients presenting with an associated ...

Radioiodine therapy of euthyroid multinodular goitres
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2002Euthyroid multinodular goitre is caused by excessive replication of thyroid epithelial cells, due to various stimuli. With time there is a gradual increase in size and in nodularity. The clinical manifestations arise solely from thyroid enlargement. Treatment of euthyroid multinodular goitre is indicated only when thyroid enlargement causes symptoms of

Serum selenium levels in multinodular goitre
Clinical Otolaryngology, 1998Serum selenium levels were measured in 22 patients with a multinodular goitre and compared to 15 normal controls using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The serum selenium was significantly low in these patients (patients' mean = 9.6 +/- 1.24 mcg/l, versus control mean = 11.7 +/- 1.64 mcg/l and P < 0.005).

Surgical indications for toxic multinodular goitre.
Chirurgia italiana, 2005 The aim of this study was to clarify the surgical indications and the effectiveness of total thyroidectomy in the treatment of toxic multinodular goitre. From January 1998 to May 2004, 70 patients underwent total thyroidectomy in our department because of toxic multinodular goitre. In 46 patients (65.7%) the indications for total thyroidectomy were: 25

, 1996 Multinodular goitre is a very common, and commonly benign, thyroid disorder; however variable and sometimes surprisingly high occurence of malignancy has been reported in surgical series. In this connection we retrospectively analyzed a large consecutive series of 539 thyroidectomies performed for M.N.G.

Toxic multinodular goitre can develop from a nontoxic multinodular goitre, which frequently arises in a thyroid that has enlarged due to hyperplasia of the follicular epithelium. The best known cause of multinodular goitre is iodine deficiency. Consequently, from a global perspective, this form of goitre is more prevalent in iodine-deficient regions ...

Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and multinodular goitre
Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 2002SUMMARYA 50‐year‐old woman presented with multiple skin‐coloured facial papules. There was a family history of similar lesions. Histology of one of these papules was consistent with fibrofolliculoma. Multiple fibrofolliculomas together with flexural acrochordons suggested the diagnosis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome.
