ABSTRACT

Thyroid cancer is the most common among all endocrine malignancies. The world prevalance of goitre in the general population is estimated at 4-7%. It is postulated that goitrous thyroid is a precursor lesion to the development of malignant disease, the incidence of malignancy in goitrous thyroid is about 10%.Thyroid malignancy is usually more common in females ,with a male to female ratio ranging between 2:1 to 5:1 in most populations. Thyroid malignancy usually occurs at an earlier age group.This study was hospital based retrospective study based on the collection of the surgically removed thyroid specimens from J.L.N Hospital, Ajmer. Cases were divided into two groups cancer and non cancer groups, based on histopathological intervention in J.L.N Hospital were collected. Of these 22(16.5%) were males and 111(83.5%) were females. The highest prevalence of thyroid swelling was in 31-40 year age group. The cases were in 8 to 78 year age range. Out of 133 thyroid swellings 25(18.8%) were found to be malignant whereas the rest 108(81.2%) were non malignant. Based on our study goitrous swelling is common in Ajmer region, however thyroid malignancy is not a major problem. The most common thyroid cancer is papillary carcinoma, more prevalent in females.

Keywords: Goitre. Adenomas, papillary carcinoma.
