Abstract

In this study, we aimed to present our incidental malignancy rates in patients who were operated due to multinodular goiter (MNG). We retrospectively evaluated patients operated due to MNG in Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Training and Research Hospital 1st Surgery Clinic between 1997-2003. After taking history and physical examination all patients were examined with ultrasonography, thyroid scintigraphy and fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was applied to nodules. Patients having hypoactive nodules more than 2 cm in diameter with benign colloidal changes at FNAB were included in the study. Postoperative histopathological examination results were collected. There were 354 patients of which 307 were women (86.7%) and 47 were men (13.3%). The youngest of them was 13 years old and the oldest one was 76 with average age being 43.63±14.32. Postoperative histopathological examination results were malignant in 20 patients (5.64%); 14 of them (70%) were papillary carcinoma, 5 (25%) were follicular carcinoma and 1 (5%) was medullary carcinoma. Malignancy rate was 5.64% whose FNAB results were benign. Incidental malignancy rates and malignancy types of our study correlate with the literature. We think that with increased experience of cytologists, our indications of surgery will narrow and malignancy rates will increase.

Özet

Bu çalışmada multinodüler guatr nedeniyle opere ettiğimiz hastalardaki insidental olarak saptadığımız malignite oranlarımızı sunmayı amaçladık. Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi 1. Genel Cerrahi Kliniği'nde 1997-2003 yılları arasında multinodüler guatr nedeniyle opere ettiğimiz hastalar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların anamnez ve fizik muayeneleri sonrası tümüne ultrasonografi, sintigrafi ve ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi (İİAB) uygulanmıştı. İki cm'den büyük, sintigrafik olarak hipoaktif, İİAB'de benign kolloidal değişiklikler tespit edilen tiroid nodulu ya da nodülleri bulunan ve opere edilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların operasyon sonrası patoloji sonuçları incelenerek tüm sonuçlar kayıt edildi. Aradığımız kriterlere uygun hasta sayısı toplam 354 idi. Hastalarımızın 307'si (%86.7) kadın, 47'si (%13.3) erkek idi. Olguların en genci 13, en yaşlısı 76 yaşındaydı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 43.63±14.32 olarak bulundu. Hastaların patoloji sonuçları incelendiğinde 20 (%5.64) olguda malignite tespit edildi. Bu 20 hastanın 14'ünde (%70) papiller CA, 5'inde (%25) foliküler CA, 1'inde (%5) medüller CA tespit edildi. İİAB'si benign kolloidal nodul olan tüm olgularımızda malignite oranımız %5.64 olarak bulunmuştur. İnsidental malignite oranımız ve çeşitliliği diğer ülke literatürleriyle uyumlu olarak bulunmuştur. Sitologların deneyiminin artmasının, cerrahi endikasyonumuzun daralmasına ve çıkarılan nodüllerde kanser ile karşılaşma oranımızın da artmasına yardımcı olacağı kanaatindeyiz.
