RESUMO
The thyroid gland disease incidence in hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is higher than the incidence of thyroid disease in general population. Likewise, HPT is more frequent in patients primary admitted due to thyroid disease, than in general population. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of concomitant HPT and thyroid disease, based on a single center experience. From 2009 to 2014, a total of 4882 patients underwent thyroidectomy and/or parathyroidectomy at the Center for Endocrine Surgery, Belgrade. We reviewed the database to find out indications for surgery, clinical characteristics, operative and histopathological findings. Out of 4033 patients, who underwent thyroidectomy, in 114 cases (2.8 %) parathyroidectomy was simultaneously performed. Out of these 114 patients, 42 patients (37 %) had normocalcemic HPT. Among 849 patients primary operated due to HPT, thyroid gland disease that required surgery was found in 224 (26.4 %). In patients primary seen for HPT, thyroid cancer was found in 22 (9.8 %), Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 41 (18.3 %) and micropapillary carcinoma in 36 cases (16.1 %). Due to residual or recidivant HPT, 16 patients (15 who primary underwent parathyroidectomy and 1 primary seen for thyroid disease) needed a reoperation. There are a considerable number of patients with concomitant thyroid and parathyroid disease; this justifies the routine analyses of calcemia and PTH level in patients preparing for thyroidectomy, and sets up the ground for the thyroid investigations in HPT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence and identify risk factors for the occurrence of intraoperative hypertension (IOH) during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 269 patients surgically treated between January 2008 and January 2012 for pHPT. IOH was defined as an increase in systolic blood pressure ≥20% compared to baseline values which lasted for 15 min. The investigated influence were demographic characteristics, surgical risk score related to physical status (based on the American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] classification), comorbidities, type and duration of surgery, and duration of anesthesia on IOH occurrence. The investigated factors were obtained from the patients' medical history, anesthesia charts, and the daily practice database. Logistic regression analysis was done to determine the predictors of IOH. RESULTS: Of the 269 patients, 153 (56.9%) had IOH. Based on the univariate analysis, age, body mass index, ASA status, duration of anesthesia, and preoperative hypertension were risk factors for the occurrence of IOH. Multivariate analysis showed that independent predictors of IOH were a history of hypertension (OR = 2.080, 95% CI: 1.102-3.925, p = 0.024) and age (OR = 0.569, 95% CI: 0.360-0.901, p = 0.016). CONCLUSION: In this study, a high percentage (56%) of the patients developed IOH during surgery for pHPT, which indicates that special attention should be paid to these patients, especially to the high-risk groups: older patients and those with a history of hypertension. Further, this study showed that advanced age and hypertension as a coexisting disease prior to parathyroid surgery were independent risk factors for the occurrence of IOH.

PURPOSE: A quality of life (QoL) assessment is considered an important outcome measure in the treatment of benign thyroid diseases. The aims of this study were to analyze the impact of different surgical treatments on QoL in patients with benign thyroid diseases and to evaluate factors correlating with the QoL outcomes. METHODS: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted. One hundred thirty-two patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and completed the disease-specific questionnaire, thyroid patient-reported outcome (ThyPRO), before surgery and after 6 months. Preoperative and postoperative QoL outcomes were compared and correlating factors were analyzed. RESULTS: Indication for surgery was euthyroid goiter, toxic goiter, and suspicious malignant thyroid disease in 58.3, 29.5, and 12.1 % of the patients, respectively. None of the patients had overtly toxic goiter. There were 65.2 % of the patients who underwent total thyroidectomy, while 34.8 % underwent hemithyroidectomy. The total postoperative complication rate was 5.3 %. QoL improved significantly after surgical treatment, independent of the extent of performed surgery. The most affected domain, pre- and postoperative, was for tiredness. QoL improvement was significant for women in all domains, while for men, it was significant in only three domains (goiter symptoms, emotional susceptibility, and cosmetic complaints) and in overall QoL. Younger patients had significantly better cognitive functioning and daily life, while elderly patients had significantly less cosmetic complaints. The factors that significantly correlated with improvement of QoL in different domains were lower education level, duration of disease, and microcarcinoma at final histology. CONCLUSION: QoL in patients with benign thyroid diseases improves significantly after operative treatment, independent of the extent of the operation.

Parathyroid carcinoma is extremely rare in pediatric population. The authors report a case of 15-year-old girl with extremely elevated serum calcium (4.1 mmol/L) and parathyroid hormone (1170 pg/mL), with palpable neck mass. After en bloc resection, the patient remained normocalcemic within the next 2 years. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fourteenth documented case of parathyroid carcinoma in patients younger than 16 years. Even though parathyroid carcinoma is very uncommon in children with good prognosis, this diagnosis has to be considered when a child has severe hypercalcemia, elevated parathyroid hormone and palpable neck mass.

INTRODUCTION: Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and other benign goiters (BG) might influence patients' quality of life (QoL). The objective of this study was to analyze influence of surgery on these patients' QoL. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted. The ThyPRO questionnaire was used in the QoL assessment. RESULTS: The HT patients experienced significantly worse hypothyroid symptoms and sex life than the BG patients. The improvement in QoL in the BG patients was significant after surgery in all ThyPRO domains. In the HT patients, the improvement was significant in all but two domains, eye symptoms and cognitive impairment. The best improvement in both groups was in overall QoL. None of the patients developed permanent consequences. CONCLUSIONS: The QoL of HT and BG patients is impaired and improves significantly after surgical treatment. Thyroidectomy should be considered as a treatment option in the HT patients more often as in the BG patients.

Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare tumour that appears in two distinct forms. The rarer familial form is genetically determined. The sporadic form is more common, but its aetiology has not been defined clearly so far. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for development of sporadic medullary thyroid cancer (sMTC). A case-control study was carried out during the period 2000-2009. The case group included 98 consecutive patients with sMTC. The control group comprised twice as many cases (196), who were neighbours of the patients from the case group. Patients were individually matched by sex, age and place of residence. Conditional univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods were applied in data analyses. According to the univariate logistic regression method, sMTC was significantly related to smoking status, duration of smoking, number of cigarettes smoked per day, personal history of goitre or thyroid nodules, personal history of nonthyroid cancer, menarche after 14 years of age, first full-term pregnancy before 20 years of age and usage of oral contraceptives. According to the multivariate logistic regression method, sMTC was independently related to smoking status [odds ratio (OR)=0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.20-0.90], personal history of goitre or thyroid nodules (OR=11.29, 95% CI=1.16-73.45) and menarche after 14 years of age (OR=2.77, 95% CI=1.33-6.28). Risk factors for sMTC were goitre or thyroid nodules and late menarche; cigarette smoking appeared to be a protective factor.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is very serious disease with bad prognosis and unknown etiology. The aim of the study was to test some hypotheses about other factors in addition to goiter related to anaplastic thyroid cancer occurrence. A case-control study was performed during the period 1993-2005. The case group comprised 126 patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic thyroid cancer. The control group comprised 252 patients who had for the first time goiter operation, and had no malignancy of thyroid gland. Cases and controls were individually matched by age, sex and place of residence (urban/rural). According to conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis, anaplastic thyroid cancer was significantly related to lower education (odds ratio=1.85, 95% confidence interval=1.21-2.82), other malignant tumors in personal history (odds ratio=4.37, 95% confidence interval=1.11-17.31), blood group B (odds ratio=3.69, 95% confidence interval=1.10-12.49), menarche at >or=15 years of age (odds ratio=2.63, 95% confidence interval=1.15-5.88), and first full-term pregnancy before 19 years of age (odds ratio=2.96, 95% confidence interval=1.26-6.96). On the basis of the results obtained, risk factors for anaplastic thyroid cancer are similar to risk factors for differentiated thyroid cancers.
