This 22-year study of 284 hyperfunctional thyroid nodules found surgery effective. Most patients with toxic thyroid adenoma experienced favorable outcomes after subtotal lobectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Context:

  • Hyperfunctional thyroid nodules represent a significant portion of thyroidal diseases.
  • Thyrotoxicosis diagnosis relies on clinical presentation, thyroid function tests, and scintigraphy.
  • Both typical severe and atypical forms of hyperthyroidism due to nodules exist.

Purpose:

  • To report a 22-year experience with the diagnosis and surgical management of hyperfunctional thyroid nodules.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of surgical treatment for toxic thyroid adenoma.
  • To compare surgical approaches, specifically subtotal lobectomy versus enucleoresection.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 284 patients with hyperfunctional thyroid nodules (279 operated) treated over 22 years.

  • Diagnosis involved clinical assessment, thyroid function, and scintigraphy, identifying various clinical presentations.
  • Subtotal lobectomy was the preferred surgical method, with 93% of operated cases showing favorable immediate results.

    • Impact:

    • Surgical intervention provides a definitive cure for toxic thyroid adenoma, aiming for long-term disease-free status.
    • Subtotal lobectomy is demonstrated as an effective surgical procedure for hyperfunctional thyroid nodules.
    • The study highlights the importance of surgical management in achieving favorable clinical and biological outcomes for patients with toxic thyroid adenoma.
