Abstract

A series of 348 patients undergoing operative intervention because of thyroid masses is reviewed. The incidence of primary malignancy among these patients is 16.4%. Male sex and the presence of cervical adenopathy significantly increase the probability of malignancy. The presence of multiple nodules or a functional nodule on radioiodine thyroid scan significantly reduces the probability of cancer. A rational approach to thyroid nodules is presented based on these findings and new modalities that have become available.

Abstract

Three patients with “islet cell-carcinoid” tumors of the duodenum are reviewed. In each of these cases the presence of lymph node metastasis eventually prompted total gastrectomy as the course of treatment. The patient in case I is now clinically free of tumor five years after operation. In case II the patient's death occurred two years after surgery, and although tumor was found at operation, it was not related to his death. In case III the patient is alive and well five years after his surgical procedures.
