Abstract:
A study was made of the morphometric, ultrastructural and functional features of the thyroid in patients with diffuse toxic goiter (DTG) (women aged 16 to 12) with positive and negative dynamics of body mass (groups 1 and 2, respectively). Proliferation of the thyroid epithelium, detected in DTG patients of the 1st group, can be regarded as a morphological criterion for making a decision of a necessity of surgical intervention.
