[Thyroid neoplasms and pregnancy].

Pregnancies and deliveries of ten patients are reported who underwent a complex treatment (surgery, 131J, thyroid hormone) for highly differentiated follicular and papillary thyroid carcinomas. Out of ten cases, in 3 cases two were pregnant and in two cases two delivered. Besides papillary and papillofollicular carcinomas, surgery revealed that six patients had regional lymph node metastases of N1 or N2. On the evidence of the deliveries, follow-up examinations after the operation, and complementary treatment of these two types of tumor, pregnancy is not contraindicated, since a progression of the primary disease, neonatal hypothyroidism, and factitious hyperthyroidism have not been found.

[The unrecognized thyroid neoplasm].

During the last 10 years the authors operated upon 8 patients with illnesses beginning with different lung alterations. In all cases the basic illness was a papillary or papillo-follicular cancer of the thyroid gland which later was found indirectly after other operation and histologic examination. By evaluation of clinical symptoms, operative and morphologic findings conclusions as well as the results of reexamination the authors draw conclusions as to the biological attributes of this tumor type. They recognize that the carcinomas of the thyroid gland cause metastases of regional lymph nodes or distant lung metastases approaching the TO stage. Lung metastases appeared in different shapes and were in all cases the fist clinical sign of the basic illness. Considering the biological attributes of this tumor the authors emphasize that it is not inoperable or untreatable.
