    Subacute thyroiditis affects hospitalized patients, often presenting with neck tenderness. Careful evaluation, including aspiration cytology, is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary thyroid surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Subacute thyroiditis is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland.
    • Accurate diagnosis is essential to guide appropriate patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review clinical data of hospitalized patients diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis.
    • To identify diagnostic patterns and potential complications arising from misdiagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 80 hospital charts over 11 years.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, thyroid function tests, sedimentation rate, and antibody levels.
    • Evaluation of patient outcomes, including surgical interventions and complications.

    Main Results:

    • 61 patients (48 female, 13 male, aged 22-75) were diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 57 patients exhibited neck tenderness; others were painless.
  • Thyroid function tests were abnormal in 53%, rapid sedimentation rate was universally elevated (46/46), and thyroid antibodies were positive in 26% (10/39).
  • 16 patients underwent unnecessary thyroid surgery, with 2 developing hypothyroidism and/or hypoparathyroidism.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subacute thyroiditis requires careful clinical and pathological assessment.
    • Aspiration cytology is recommended to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate surgical management.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis can prevent complications such as hypothyroidism.
