Cancer in hyperthyroidism.

The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of thyroid cancer in toxic goitre. Based on the material from 14,500 goitre surgeries, including 3,466 patients with toxic goitre, incidence of thyroid cancer, in relation to age and sex of the patients were determined. In 14,500 goitre surgeries, 12,887 women and 1,613 men (F:M 7.99:1), 639 (4.4%) cases of thyroid cancer were found. Among 3,466 patients with toxic goitre, thyroid cancer was found in 21 cases (0.6%)-20 females and 1 male, including 18 nodular toxic goitre and 3 Graves disease cases. The difference between the incidence of thyroid cancer in nontoxic and toxic goitre is statistically significant.

[Strumectomy in children and adolescents--personal studies with 12,000 operations].

At the Surgery Clinic of the Endocrinology Institute in Lódź we operated 12 344 patients between 1974 and 1992 because of various types of goitre. Among these there were 295 children and adolescents, 2.4%- aged between 9-18 years: 268 girls (90.8%) and 27 boys (9.2%). The goitre was 9.9 times more frequent in girls than in boys. In adults the ratio was 8:1.

In the paper two cases are presented of Leśniowski-Crohn disease located in the oesophagus. The clinical course, diagnosis and surgical treatment are described. The attention is paid to the difficulties in differentiation of lesions developing in the course of this disease from malignancy, exerting significant influence on the choice of surgical management.
