Hyperthyroidism coexisting with thyroid cancer has a low malignancy rate. Subtotal thyroidectomy may suffice for occult cancers, but larger or invasive tumors may require total thyroidectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hyperthyroidism, a condition of excess thyroid hormones, can coexist with thyroid cancer.
  • The incidence of malignancy in patients with hyperthyroidism is not well-established.
  • Distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid conditions is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of thyroid malignancy in patients with hyperthyroidism.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for thyroid cancer in hyperthyroid patients.
  • To identify risk factors for recurrence and metastasis in these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 14 patients with hyperthyroidism and coexisting thyroid malignancy.
  • Review of patient data including cancer type, surgical procedure, and follow-up outcomes.

  • Comparison of malignancy rates in Graves' disease and toxic nodular goiter.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall incidence of malignancy in hyperthyroidism was 1.75% (14/801).
    • Papillary cancer was the most common malignancy (12/14 patients).
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy was adequate for occult cancer; however, 2 patients required reoperation due to tumor size (>1 cm).
    • One patient died from anaplastic cancer, and another experienced recurrence and metastasis from papillary cancer.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperthyroidism presents a low risk of associated thyroid malignancy.
    • Subtotal thyroidectomy is effective for occult thyroid cancer.
    • Total thyroidectomy is recommended for patients with multifocal disease, tumors >1 cm, or capsular invasion to prevent recurrence and metastasis.
