Resumen

LEGRA ZAYAS, Enrique; CORRIA TRESSORD, Yoander  y  MONTERO LORA, Yamilda. Clinical surgical and pathological characterization of patients with thyroid cancer in the period 1995-2011. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.11, pp.8064-8069. ISSN 1029-3019.

An observational, descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study was carried out in 84 patients with thyroid cancer, attended in the General Surgery Service of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 1995 to April, 2011, with the purpose of characterizing them from the clinical surgical and pathological points of view. Age group of 31-45 years, female sex, papillary carcinoma as the most frequent histological variety -- with single nodules -- and dysphonia as a major complication prevailed in the series. The effectiveness of the ultrasound was confirmed by detecting nodular lesions, and there was a high correspondence between the results of the fine needle aspiration biopsy and histological diagnosis; also, frozen biopsy was an useful procedure in negative or doubtful cytologies.

Palabras clave : thyroid cancer; fine needle aspiration cytology; nodular lesion; papillary carcinoma; frozen biopsy.
