In 10 patients carcinoma was suspected before operation because of the node in diffuse goiter, while in 5 patients carcinoma was found unexpectedly. Tumor was smaller than 1 sm in only one patient. Nine patients had papillary carcinoma, 4 had follicular and 2 had medullary carcinoma. One patient with medullary carcinoma had been treated previously with radioactive iodine.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
