Testosterone Threat - Thyroid Swellings in Men
Abstract: The thyroid gland disorders are a common endocrinological abnormality with varied presentations based on age, gender, epidemiology, diet and family history. The disorders range from benign entities like nodular diseases, goitre, thyroiditis to malignant carcinoma. The thyroid abnormalities in men are more aggressive and have a high degree to be of malignant etiology. This case series include four male patients with two diagnosed as papillary carcinoma, one diagnosed as anaplastic carcinoma and the other found to have follicular adenoma. All patients were managed accordingly and followed up postoperatively. Hence, we conclude that malignant thyroid swellings even though are more common in females than males, the probability of a male thyroid swelling to be malignant is far more likely than being a benign swelling.
