The reported prevalence of @entity259 with concurrent @entity1378 varies from 0.21% to 9.0%. This variability may be due to multiple factors, such as indications for surgery and histopathologic accuracy. However, this condition is not rare and its prevalence has increased in recent surveys, perhaps as a result of more detailed examinations. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence of @entity259 in @entity1378 @entity1 at surgery. Forty-five @entity1 , 34 @entity1 and 11 @entity1 , underwent surgery for @entity1378 in our department between 1989 and 2000. Ages ranged from 14 to 67 years. There were 42 cases of @entity2743 , one of functional @entity1376 , and two of single toxic nodules. Forty-three @entity1 underwent total thyroidectomy and two underwent total lobectomy. Six cases (13.3%) of @entity259 were found, two @entity1 and four @entity1 with ages ranging from 19 to 48 years. Final histologic examination revealed three @entity1377 , one @entity189 , one @entity189 combined with @entity1358 , and one @entity1358 . Thus, in our department, the prevalence of @entity259 in @entity1378 treated using surgery was 13.3%. Our study showed that even a single toxic nodule may occur with concurrent @entity259 . Careful evaluation of such @entity1 is needed to exclude the presence of associated @entity5 and to determine the most appropriate therapeutic plan.
