Abstract:
Objective To study the diagnosis and therapy of Hashimoto's disease (HD) with thyroid nodule. Methods The clinical data of 187 patients with nodulous Hashimoto's disease who had operation in our hospital from 1995 to 2008 were analysed retrospectively. Results The nodules coexisting with Hashimoto's disease were thyroid carcinoma, nodular goiter, thyroid follicular adenoma and lymphoma accounting for 11.2% (21/187), 26.7% (50/187), 15% (28/187) and 1.6% (3/187) respectively. Conclusions HD patients with thyroid nodules especially the single nodule that can not be distinguished from cancer should have operation in time. Ultrasound guided needle aspiration will be helpful for the preoperative diagnosis and the frozen section may guide the surgical modality.
