The Coexistence of Occult (Latent) Thyroid Cancer and Multinodular Goiter After Total Thyroidectomy: A Retrospective Study.
Cureus
June 2024
Second Surgical Department, 424 General Military Hospital, Thessaloniki, GRC.
Article Synopsis
- Multinodular goiter (MNG) is a common thyroid condition with multiple nodules, often benign but sometimes harboring latent cancer, necessitating thorough investigation and management.* -
- A study of 412 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy revealed that 14.02% had concealed thyroid carcinoma within MNG, predominantly of the papillary type.* -
- The findings highlight the need for careful evaluation of patients with MNG due to the potential for malignancy, particularly in cases that may also involve other thyroid disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis.*

Osteomyelitis (OM), characterized by heterogeneity and complexity in treatment, has a high risk of infection recurrence which may cause limb disability. Management of chronic inactive osteomyelitis (CIOM) without typical inflammatory symptoms is a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. On the basis of data analysis of 1091 OM cases, we reported that latent osteogenic decline in CIOM patients was the main cause of secondary surgery.

One third of the world population has a history of exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and two billion people are infected with latent tuberculosis (TB). Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of replicative-competent HBV DNA in the liver with detectable or undetectable HBV DNA in the serum of individuals testing negative for the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). Screening with HBV DNA could identify OBI and significantly reduce carriers and complications of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
