Clinicopathological Profile of Thyroid Carcinomas: A 10-Year Experience in a Tertiary Care Institute
Objective: Thyroid gland is an important endocrine gland and thyroid cancers (TC) are the most noteworthy disease of the thyroid gland. Although thyroid surgery is performed for most particularly for malignancy, thyroidectomies still maintain a large part of surgical operations. We aimed to investigate the incidence and subtypes of the thyroid cancers in present study, with our 10 years experience of thyroid surgery.Methods: Data of patients who underwent thyroidectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The patients who underwent bilateral total thyroidectomy were included to the study. Patients’ age, gender and histopathological results were recorded. According to the histopathological reports we divided the patients into two groups either as benign or malignant.Results: A total of 3632 patients were included in the study. 2999 (82.6%) patients were in benign group and 633(17.4%) patients were in malignant group. The subtypes of malignant tumors were papillary carcinoma in 591 (93.4%), medullary carcinoma in 16 (2.5%), follicular carcinoma in 14 (2.2%), oncocytic (hurtle cell) carcinoma in 7 (1.1%) and undifferentiated (anaplastic) in 5(0.8%) of the cases.Conclusion: Incidental thyroid cancers are not a rare entity after pathological examination of thyroid specimen after surgery. Therefore, we suggest careful evaluation and bilateral leb lobectomy ectomy in surgical treatment of thyroid conditions
