Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the experience in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with coexistent thyroid papillary carcinoma(PTC).
METHOD:Fifty-one cases of concomitant HT and PTC treated from February 2001 to 2008 October were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULT:Twenty-eight cases of patients underwent thyroid-associated antibody test,with 5 cases TG-Ab elevated and 15 cases TPO-Ab elevated. All 51 cases were detected with thyroid solid mass on B ultrasonography test,and twenty-two cases had evidence of calcification on B ultrasound preoperatively (43.14%), five cases were suspicious of malignancy. Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology prompted 2 cases of suspected cancer, 1 case highly suspected malignant. All patients underwent surgical treatment. In a follow-up for 8-100 months, 2 people were lost to follow-up,and the others had no recurrence or metastasis.
CONCLUSION:HT associated with thyroid nodules should be vigilant against malignant tendency. Preoperative combined thyroglobulin antibody (TG-Ab), antithyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab), imaging examination and fine needle aspiration cytology, contribute to the diagnosis of PTC combined HT. Surgical procedure of combined HT with PTC is the effective treatment, and the principles of its surgical treatment may be in accordance with the principle of PTC. Surgical treatment is effective with good prognosis.
