Of this number 14 patients were operated on for clinically manifest carcinoma and its relapse, and in 165 cases carcinoma was revealed during the operation and after it. Among 609 patients operated on for euthyroid goiter carcinoma was revealed in 116 (19.04%). In solitary nodes (450 cases) its incidence constituted 21.77%, in mixed goiter (123 patients)--10.56%, and in autoimmune thyroiditis (101 cases)--15.84%. Of 394 patients with toxic goiter operated on carcinoma was revealed in 33 (8.37%). Of 287 patients with diffuse toxic goiter operated on--in 17 (5.92%) patients.
