[Differentiated thyroid carcinoma: prognostic factors].

Factors influencing prognosis and long term outcome of thyroid cancer have been described by several groups. It is, however, not clear how the moderate iodine deficiency in Hungary can influence the previously described prognostic factors by other means than shifting differentiated cancer incidence toward the follicular type. Data of 423 out of 472 patients who had been operated on for papillary (372) and follicular (100) thyroid cancer between 1971 and 1997 at our institution have been analyzed retrospectively. Histological specimens were re-evaluated and, if needed, revised. Survival curves were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. The overall 5 and 10 year survival rates were 93% and 89% for papillary, and 92% and 80% for follicular carcinoma. As an independent factor extrathyroidal invasion (papillary p = 0.000, follicular p = 0.000), lymph node involvement (papillary p = 0.000, follicular 0.011), distant metastases (papillary p = 0.000, follicular p = 0.000), and age over 40 years (papillary p = 0.000, follicular p = 0.000) had negative influence on survival. Multifocality, gender, type of surgery (total or near-total thyroidectomy vs. less than near-total thyroidectomy), and lymphocytic infiltration did not influence survival. Iodine intake did not influence survival, however, the incidence of follicular cancer was higher in iodine deficient regions. When analyzing the papillary and follicular groups separately by Cox regression, extrathyroidal invasion (p = 0.008), lymph node metastasis (p = 0.004), distant metastasis (p = 0.000), and age over 40 years (p = 0.000) were significant predictors in the papillary group, while only tumor extrathyroidal invasion (p = 0.019), and distant metastases (p = 0.000) were significant negative factors in the follicular group.

[Change in the surgical treatment of benign adrenal gland tumors. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy].

UNLABELLED: Since 1995 fifty-two patient was operated on the Ist Department of the Surgery (DEOEC) due to uni- and bilateral tumor of the adrenal gland. Between May 1999, and December 2000 the authors performed 11 transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomies (LA). Conversion due to bleeding in 3 cases and due to suspected malignancy in 1 case was necessary. This malignant lesion could have been resected during the open surgery after only the temporary dissection of the right renal vein. Complete resection was carried out in 9 cases. In 2 cases where a well circumscribed adenoma or teratoma was visualized, only enucleation was performed. The complication rate was low (1 ptx). Blood replacement was not necessary. The operation mean time was not any longer in LA compared to the open surgical approach. Preoperatively adrenaline (A), noradrenaline (NA), metadrenaline (metA), normetadrenaline (normetA) and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) were measured in 24-h urine samples. Adrenal imagery consisted in all patients of abdominal computed tomography and in 4 patients adrenal magnetic resonance imaging but [131I] metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and octreotide scintigraphy were not performed. CONCLUSION: In the authors experience laparoscopic adrenalectomy is absolutely superior to the open surgery for the benign diseases of the adrenal gland not bigger than 6 cm. A short, uncomplicated and painless postoperative period can be achieved for the patients, with the same efficacy and safety compared to the conventional surgery. Enucleation without the whole adrenal gland excision is also possible.

Surgically treated Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

The primary way to treat Hashimoto's thyroiditis is conservative. However, it has a relatively high occurrence in operated patients, up to 13% in the literature. Indications for surgery are suspicion of malignancy, and/or trachea/esophagus compression. 2818 thyroid operations were performed at our department between 1986 and 1995. 279 patients suffered from thyroid cancer and 2539 had benign disease. Histology revealed Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 118 cases. Coexisting malignant thyroid tumor was found in 14 cases (11.8%): 9 papillary, 2 follicular, 1 anaplastic cancer, and 2 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis occurred in 8 cases, of which 6 remained permanent. This relatively high incidence supports the importance to identify the laryngeal nerve during every operation for Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Four patients had temporary and one had permanent hypoparathyroidism. Coexistence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and thyroid carcinoma, the increased risk for the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and the need for thyroxin supplementation in many cases justify a careful, long-term follow-up of patients with Hashimoto's disease.

[Diagnosis of Meckel diverticulum, containing ectopic gastric mucosa", by studying small bowel passage].

Radiological diagnosis of Meckel diverticulum is a difficult task. Here we report a patient with hereditary sphaerocytosis who complained of a chronic periumbilical pain and in whom antegrade barium enema suggested Meckel diverticulum. The diagnosis had been proven both surgically and histologically. This observation indicates that so called traditional x-ray still has its role even in the era of modern (and expensive) radiology.

Special features of childhood and juvenile thyroid carcinomas.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 36 patients who underwent surgery for childhood or juvenile thyroid cancers and who were regularly followed up during the course of 30 years. The biological properties and late prognosis of these patients were assessed, and the clinical and morphological characteristics of the tumors were examined. The distribution of the DNA content in the tumor cells was compared with that in adult tumor cells, and the results of cytogenetic tests performed on mothers operated on for thyroid tumors and their children are also discussed.

[Value of thyroglobulin determination in the follow up treatment of patients with thyroid cancer].

Tg measurements were performed regularly in 96 thyroid carcinomas in order to evaluate metastases and local recurrencies. Elevated Tg level was detected in 11 patient. 7 of them were operated on because of local recurrencies and lymph node metastases. All patients that needed reoperation had elevated Tg level. During the follow up period no patient needed reoperation who had elevated Tg level or metastases detected by other diagnostic procedures. Summarising the results they found the Tg level measurements valuable in the follow up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. The Tg level measurements can supplement or sometimes replace 131J thyroid scanning.
