Abstract
Objectives: Explore clinical symptoms and tests, evaluate the efficacy of surgery in the treatment of Bethesda IV thyroid nodules and review histopathological results.
Methods: 52 patients with Bethesda IV thyroid nodules in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from 01/01/2021 to 30/07/2022.
Results: 96,2% are female. The average age is 43,3 ± 13,6. 75% patients hospitalized without any symptoms. Tumors distribute equally in 2 lobes. The average dimension is 2,0 ± 1,2cm. Sensitivity and specific of TIRADS is 60,9% and 89,7%, respectively. 51,9% patients underwent total thyroidectomy, 42,3% patients underwent lobectomy. Complete thyroidectomy was conducted in 14,8% cases. Surgical complications in this research were transient hypoparathyroidism (13,5%), permanent hypoparathyroidism (3,8%), transient recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (1,9%) and seroma (1,9%). 44,2% cases was malignant. The most common histopathology types were: Papillary carcinoma (36,5%), colloid nodules (30,8%), follicular adenoma (17,3%), follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (5,8%).
Conclusions: Surgery is a curative type of treatments in Bethesda IV thyroid nodules. Besides, surgery play an important role in histopathology diagnosis. The complications of thyroid surgery is equivalent to other studies.
