To Study the Clinical Profile among Different Bethesda Categories of Thyroid Lesions: A Study of 917 Cases

“…In present study, pressure symptoms were present in 21 (2.29%) cases and pain in 38 (4.14%) cases which is comparable with study by GodinhoMatos L et al [9] The smaller size of the thyroid swelling mostly favors benign pathology. In our study, the majority of the patients 614 (66.95%) had the size of the thyroid swelling between 1 to 3 cms as seen from (Table 6).…”

Histopathological study of thyroid lesions and correlation with ultrasonography and thyroid profile in western zone of Rajasthan, India

“…In the study by Godlnho-Matos L, et al there were 144 cases out of them 88 cases were euthyroid, 9 cases were hyperthyroid and 3 cases were hypothyroid. 15 Final diagnosis in our study was on the basis of histopathological reports record. Out of 100 cases, 72 cases (72%) were proven as non-neoplastic & 28 cases (28 %) as neoplastic & in neoplastic lesions we found 18 cases were benign (follicular adenoma, hyalinising trabecular adenoma) and 10 cases were malignant.…”

“…In the study of Prakash A, et al thyroid swelling was in 95.55% cases, Sachdeva HS, et al thyroid swelling was in 90%, dysphagia in 33.33%, dyspnoea in 26.66% cases, Godinho-Matos L, et al thyroid swelling was in 100%, dysphagia in 4%, dyspnoea in 3%, pain in 8% and hoarseness of voice in 3% cases. [13][14][15] Nodular goiter with large swelling may be associated with difficulty in respiration or rarely in deglutition which is due to pressure on trachea or oesophagus. 16 In present study we found 49 nodules in right lobe, 35 nodules in left lobe, 16 nodules in both lobes.…”
