Bócio multinodular

Abstract: Recebido em 25/6/98 Revisado em 24/7/98 Aceito em 28/7/98 FISIOPATOLOGIA DO BÓCIO MULTINODULART ODA PATOLOGIA QUE TEM MUITAS explicações, nenhuma delas é correta, bem como toda patologia que apresenta múltiplos aspectos é, provavelmente, multifatorial. Estas afirmações são verdadeiras para o bócio multinodular. Essa patologia pode ter início na adolescência onde o paciente teria pequeno bócio que, gradativamente, sofre modificações estruturais e crescimento e evolui para um bócio multinodular de maior volum… Show more

“…It is thus a possibility that these HCC patients were in fact long-time exposed to low-grade biological hyperthyroidism that gave rise to the prognostic improvement indicated by our data. Since this study was performed from the year 2000, it is even possible that patients with multinodular goiter, most of them harboring 1 or more "hot" nodules as demonstrated by thyroid scintigraphy, have had a further bout of hyperthyroidism by the compulsory iodide fortification program introduced in Denmark in 2000, by increasing thyroid hormone production in these autonomous nodules [18].…”

“…Colloid goiter is a hyperplastic disease of thyroid follicular cells due to multifactorial causes. One of the most accepted and well-documented hypotheses of etiology is a reduced production of thyroid hormone and consequent increased level of thyroid stimulant hormone (TSH), which initially causes gland hyperplasia, followed by the development of multiple monoclonal adenomas [1][2][3] . In multinodular goiters, each individual nodule may respond in a diverse way under TSH influence and, as a physiologic structure, is dependent on genetic characteristics inherited from the stem cells 4 .…”

“…In multinodular goiters, each individual nodule may respond in a diverse way under TSH influence and, as a physiologic structure, is dependent on genetic characteristics inherited from the stem cells 4 . Among the causal factors of colloid goiter, foods that block the hormonal synthesis, mutations in TSH receptors, iodine-poor diets, globulin stimulation of thyroid development, growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and genetic factors are implicated 3 .…”
