Thyroid tumors in Burkina Faso predominantly affect women and are mostly benign, primarily multinodular goiters. Surgical intervention is common due to diagnostic limitations, with generally satisfactory outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Thyroid tumors present significant diagnostic challenges in Burkina Faso.
  • A retrospective analysis of 83 patient files from 1988-1993 highlights diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
  • Thyroid pathology is more prevalent in women, with a sex ratio of 0.22.

Purpose:

  • To review diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of thyroid tumoral pathology in Burkina Faso.
  • To analyze the clinical and histological characteristics of thyroid tumors in the region.
  • To evaluate the surgical management and outcomes for thyroid tumors.

Summary:

  • Nodular goiter, particularly multinodular goiter, is the most frequent presentation (87.95%).
  • Histological analysis reveals that 92.68% of thyroid tumors are benign, with adenoma being the most common (68.29%).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Due to the absence of isotopic exploration and extemporaneous analysis, 60% of cases underwent wide surgical excision (total or subtotal).

    • Impact:

    • The study underscores the need for improved diagnostic tools for thyroid tumors in resource-limited settings.
    • Findings inform clinical practice regarding the high prevalence of benign thyroid nodules and appropriate surgical management.
    • Satisfactory post-surgical outcomes suggest the efficacy of surgical intervention despite diagnostic constraints.
