    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Thyroid swellings are common presentations requiring investigation.
    • Previous studies provide a baseline for thyroid disease incidence in Black populations.
    • Ga-Rankuwa Hospital serves a diverse patient demographic from surrounding regions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the spectrum of thyroid swellings in a large cohort of Black patients.
    • To compare the current incidence of malignant thyroid tumors with historical data.
    • To evaluate the surgical management approach for thyroid disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 360 consecutive patients with thyroid swellings.
    • Surgical intervention and histopathological examination.

  • Comparison with previously published series.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant increase in the incidence of malignant thyroid tumors was observed.
    • Thyroid disease presentation in this cohort reflects a broader regional demographic.
    • The study highlights a shift in the prevalence of thyroid pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • The rising incidence of malignant thyroid tumors necessitates a re-evaluation of surgical strategies.
    • A more radical surgical approach is advocated in managing thyroid swellings.
    • Findings underscore the importance of ongoing surveillance and updated treatment protocols for thyroid cancer.
