Last week, a 47-year-old female patient came to me and said, "I have been suffering from thyroid sarcoidosis for many years, and I don't take it seriously.
seems to feel a little strange recently, so I am worried about malignancy. thyroid nodules ? Will thyroid nodules be transformed into cancer? "
In today's society, there are more and more patients with thyroid nodules, but people do not understand this disease enough, which has prompted many patients to suffer from thyroid nodules.
What are the harms of thyroid nodules?
1. Patients with thyroid nodules have shortness of breath, insomnia and dreams, and have low labor and work efficiency, resulting in loss of ability to work.
2. Causes eye lesions such as , eyelids are not closed tightly or double vision, and in critical cases, there are risks of blindness .
3. Because the patient is upset and irritable and has a high voice, he likes to lose his temper and is very likely to quarrel with others, which greatly harms his relationship with his family and others.
4. Thyroid nodules can also cause damage to the patient's body. For example, there will be mild muscle weakness to severe muscle weakness, which may be accompanied by tiny tremors, tendon reflex activity and shorten the reflex time.
5. Rapid growth in the late stage of thyroid nodules may cause symptoms of vocalization, dysphagia and dyspnea , local swelling or distant metastasis.
Is there a possibility of malignant transformation of thyroid nodules?
Thyroid nodules are divided into multiple or single. For multiple, they are generally benign and are unlikely to deteriorate.
single-ejected nodules . If the color ultrasound report prompts: 's envelope is not complete, the internal echo is uneven, and the shape is irregular , then you should pay attention. This may be a single-ejected cold nodule, which may deteriorate!
No matter whether it is single or multiple nodules, if there is a calcification or placeholding, then there is a possibility of lesions. The probability of lesions occupying place in
is higher. If calcification is calcified, it is more likely that the calcification point nodules are still benign. So you should look at it in combination with your specific inspection report.
If you are now multiple nodules, and the nodules are small and more , and secondly does not indicate calcification or placeholding , then it will generally not become cancer.
If the nodule is significantly enlarged, you can even feel the lump on your neck, which will cause symptoms of hoarseness, swallowing and difficulty breathing. When the description of
on the ultrasound report shows solid hypoechoic nodules, irregular edges, slight calcification, aspect ratio greater than 1, marginal calcification, and lymphatic metastasis , it all suggests that malignancy is more likely.
Of course, if you have questions about thyroid nodules, you can ask!
