Thyroid cancer coexisting with hyperthyroidism is rare, particularly in Graves

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder.
  • Thyroid nodules are frequently encountered in patients with hyperthyroidism.
  • The coexistence of thyroid malignancy and hyperthyroidism requires careful evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of thyroid malignancy in hyperthyroid patients undergoing surgery.
  • To compare preoperative diagnostic accuracy with final pathological findings.
  • To analyze malignancy rates based on thyroid nodule characteristics and type of hyperthyroidism.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1848 hyperthyroid patients operated over 17 years.
  • Comparison of preoperative scintiscan and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) results with postoperative pathology.

  • Stratification of malignancy incidence by nodule type (hot/cold) and hyperthyroid condition (uninodular, multinodular, Graves' disease).

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 14 malignancies (0.76%) were found in 1848 hyperthyroid patients.
    • Malignancy rates were higher in multinodular toxic goiter (1.63%) compared to uninodular toxic goiter (0.27%).
    • No malignancies were detected in patients with Graves' disease; most cancers were in cold nodules.
    • Preoperative FNAB achieved a 64% diagnostic accuracy for malignancy.

    Conclusions:

    • The incidence of thyroid malignancy in hyperthyroid patients is low, especially in iodine-deficiency goiter areas.
    • Multinodular toxic goiter is associated with a higher risk of coexisting thyroid cancer than uninodular toxic goiter.
    • Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a valuable tool for preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer in hyperthyroid patients.
