dc.description.abstractPurpose : Toxic adenoma is one of the main causes of hyperthyroidism. We investigated the efficacy of surgery in the treatment of toxic adenoma. Methods : Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measurement, ultrasound and scintigraphy of the thyroid were made for diagnostic purpose. The safety of surgery was evaluated by postoperative clinical course of patients. The efficacy of surgery was determined by the function of the remaining thyroid tissue. Results : The incidence of hyperthyroidism was 53% in surgically treated patients with nodular goitre in our iodine deficient region. The cause of thyrotoxicosis was toxic adenoma in 15 patients (14%). Suppressed serum TSH levels indicated the hyperthyroidism in all of 15 patients. Solitary solid adenoma was found by ultrasonographic examination, and solitary autonomous hot nodule by thyroid scintigraphy. Surgical treatment consisted of unilateral total lobectomy. it was the primary treatment in 13 patients. Two patients had surgery as secondary treatment after unsuccessful primary radioactive iodine application. The early postoperative clinical course of all patients was uneventful. Thirteen patients who had surgery as primary treatment had normal thyroid function postoperatively contrary to other two patients who became hypothyroid after having unsuccessful radioiodine therapy, and surgery as the secondary treatment. Conclusions : The incidence of hyperthyroidism and toxic adenoma is high in our surgically treated patients with nodular goitre. The diagnosis of toxic adenoma is not difficult by serum TSH measurements, and ultrasound and nuclear imaging of the thyroid. Surgery is effective and safe, and the treatment of choice for patients with toxic adenoma in order to control radically the hyperthyroidism and to achieve the goal of providing the euthyroid status.en_US
