Objectives: To determine the frequency of thyroid malignancy in clinically and sonographically solitary thyroid nodule in patients undergoing thyroidectomy in Comilla Medical College Hospital. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery of Comilla Medical College Hospital during the period from January 2016 to January 2019. This study includes all patients admitted and undergoing surgery with solitary thyroid nodule. Results: Out of 188 patients 146 patients were female and 42 patients were male with female:male ratio of 3.4:1. Out of 188 patients 24 patients were found histologically thyroid malignancy. Among them 14 patients were male and 10 patients were female. Papillary carcinoma was found in all cases. Conclusions: Follicular carcinoma is rare in our country. Histopathological examiners may not efficiently be doing their job to differentiate carcinoma from adenoma.
To evaluate the early post-operative complications and the risk factors in relation to the extent of surgery in patients undergoing thyroidectomy in a tertiary level hospital. Method: This was a cross-sectional observational study from 1st November 2017 to 30th April, 2018 in department of ENT & Head-Neck surgery, Comilla Medical College Hospital, Comilla, 50 patients who underwent thyroid surgery were included this study. Result: In total 50 patients' thyroid surgery were performed for different indications. The patients were between 21-60 years of age with a maximum incidence in 4th decade, out of them 42 patients were female and 8 patients were male with a female male ratio 5.25:1. Among the 50 patients, 27 patients were diagnosed as nodular goitre, 8 patients as papillary carcinoma, 11 patients as follicular adenoma & 4 patients as follicular carcinoma. In this study papillary carcinoma is prevalent in 3rd decade and follicular carcinoma in 4th to 6th decade & Nodular goitre 4th decade. Nodular goitre was the most frequent indications (54%) which was followed by papillary carcinoma of thyroid (18%). The only six complications noted in these 50 patients. Postoperative hematoma in 1 patient, transient hypocalcemia in 2 patients, unilateral RLN palsy in 2 patients and airway obstruction in 1 patient. Conclusion: For preventing early post-operative complications thorough anatomical knowledge and gentle operative technique is essential.
Objectives: To determine the frequency of thyroid malignancy in clinically or zoographically multinodular goiter in patients undergoing thyroidectomy in Cumilla Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out at the department of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery of Cumilla Medical College Hospital during the period from January 2016 to January 2019. This study includes all patients admitted and undergoing surgery with multinodular goiter. Results: Out of 146 patients 118 patients were female and 28 patients were male with female male ratio is 4.2:1. Out of 146 patients 13 patients were found histologically thyroid malignancy. Among them 8 patients were male and 5 patients were female. Papillary carcinoma was found in all cases.
