CARCINOMA OF THE THYROID IN MYXOEDEMA.

Three cases of carcinoma of the thyroid have been found in a post-mortem study of 37 cases of myxoedema. Each example of invasive carcinoma was accompanied by more widespread epithelial abnormalities which, though histologically similar, were not themselves demonstrably malignant. It is probable that in myxoedema, as in chronic thyroiditis, excessive secretion of thyrotropic hormone leads to an increased susceptibility to carcinoma of the thyroid.

Histological changes in the thyroid in cirrhosis of the liver.

The thyroid has been examined histologically in 77 cases of cirrhosis of the liver and in an equal number of control cases. Contrary to expectation, no difference was found between the incidence or the severity of lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid in the two groups. A conspicuous fibrosis or ;cirrhosis' of the thyroid, not related to lymphocytic infiltration, was associated with cirrhosis of the liver, especially in elderly women. The significance of this lesion is not clear but its origin is probably to be sought in liver dysfunction rather than in auto-immunization.
