THYROIDITIS Inflammatory diseases of the thyroid gland with different etiologic, biologic, histologic and clinical aspects CLASSIFICATION • ACUTE: bacterial, viral • SUBACUTE: de Quervain’s thryoiditis • CHRONIC: • chronic autoimmune thyroidits • Tuberculous • Mycotic • Riedel’s thyroidits
ACUTE BACTERIAL THYROIDITIS Signs and symptoms • Fever • Pain profound and severe • Dysfagia - 90 % din cazuri • Dyspnea – 50 % • Spasmodic cough Laboratory data • increased ESR • leukocytosis with neutrophilia • Ultrasound: small or large hypoechoic areas • FNB: isolation of germs Treatment : antibiotics
SUBACUTE ”DE QUERVAIN’S” THYROIDITIS PREVALENTA Sex ratio F/M: 3,6/1 – 10,6 /1 1 caz TS for 5 cases of Graves disease and for 20 cases of AIT • 0,01 % of all hospitalized patients • 1,89 % of all patiens hospitalized for thyroid diseases • 9,9 % of subjects presenting with thyrotoxicosis • 1,52 % of patients investigated by FNB Szabolosz I. Subacute thyroidits Budapesta 2000
SUBACUTE THYROIDITIS ETIOLOGY • probably the disease is a response to a viral infection GENETICS • those with HLA-Bw35 have a risk to develop the disease of 8-56.6 % • HLA-Bw35 allows the development of clincal symtoms • it has no relatioship with the evolution of the disease
SUBACUTE THYROIDITIS PATOGENICITY • interleukine 6 produced by monocytes si macrophages determine inflammation • interleukine 2 +TNF + interferon determine destructive thyroiditis in 10 % of cases • VEGF, basic FGF, PDGF determine granulomatous reaction • EGF determines by mitogenic effect the regeneration of the follicles PATHOLOGY • Follicular disruption with thyroglobulin liberation is responsible for the initial phase of thyrotoxicosis • granuloma: • a center of giant cells surrounded by macrophages • epithelial cells surrounded by a crown of macrophages involved with antigen presentation
Subacute thyroiditis: generalized hypoechogenicity Subacute thyroiditis: patchy hypoechogenicity
SUBACUTE THYROIDITIS scintiscan Color Doppler ultrasound examination
SUBACUTE THYROIDITIS – TREATMENT FORME SEVERE: GLUCOCORTICODS: • Prednisone: 30-40 mg / day at the beginning of the disease with further reduction of the dosage • Dexametazone: 3-4 mg /zi FORME USOARE: Nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs: indometacin
AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS INCIDENCE • 3,5 – 4,5 % of population present autoimmune thyroid diseases • 4,6 % of women and 1,23 %of men have antithyroid antibodies • 15 % of women over 60 years • lymphocytic infiltrations: 6,8 5 of women and 2,7 % of men • 50 % of those with antithyroid antibodies have TSH > 6 U.I./ml • 60 % of those with TSH > 6 U.I./ml have antithyroid antibodies • 80 % of those with TSH > 10 6 U.I./ml have antithyroid antibodies • 5 % of those with TSH > 6 U.I./ml develop overt hypothyroidism each year
AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS PATOGENY • genetic predisposition • Viral aggression • excessive iodine supply GENETIC PREDISPOSITION • relatives with autoimmune thyroid diseases • patients with genetic abnormalities :Turner, Klinefelter, Down syndrome • association with other autoimmune diseases: • multiple autoimune endocrine diseases type I and II (ICSR, ovarian failure with precocious menopause ) autoimmune hypophysitis Biermer disease , sd, Sjogren, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis , miastenia gravis, interstitial lung disease • HLA-DR3 si HLA-DR4
AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS LABORATORY DATA • T4, T3 frequently normal • TSH normal or slightly elevated • increased response of TSH to TRH • anti TPO – ab – 100 % • anti TG-ab – 90 % • TBII – 15-20 % ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION THYROID VOLUME: Increased, normal or decreased Intense hypoechogenicity Scintiscan : patchy hypoechogenicity FNB: lymphocytes and Hurthle cells HASHIMOTO’S thyroiditis • goiter • metabolic state • eutiroidism – 80 % • hipothyroidism – 15 % • hiperthyroidism – 5 % TREATMENT THYROID HORMONES
AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS CLINICAL FORMS • HASHOTOXICOSIS • IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: diffuse euthyroid goiter 10-15 % of goiters at these ages • ATROPHIC • SILENT or PAINLESS • POSTPARTUM THYROIDITIS : TPO-Ab are detectable in predisposed cases in the 6th month of pregnancy: hiperthyroid state + depression it occurs postpartum weeks 11-12 and is followed by transient or definitive hypothyroidism • AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS SI MALIGN LYMPHOMA • AUTOIMMUNE THYROIDITIS and THYROID CANCER • IATROGENIC: interpheron, increased iodine intake, external radiotherapy
THYROID NODULES • CLINICAL : 4-7 % (5-20%) • NECROPSIES:40-50 % (30-60%) • ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION 16-67 % CLINICA OF ENDOCRINOLOGY IASI: - MEN : 27,37 % - WOMEN: 30,3 % CHILDREN: 1-2% • THE PREVALENCE INCREASES WITH AGE BY : 0,08 % / year THYROID CANCER: < 10 % OF PALPABLE NODULES, <5 % OF NODULES DETECTED BY US NODULS 4 % OF POPULATION X 4% RISK= POSSIBLE INCIDENCE: 1,6/103 TRUE PREVALENCE : 0.025-0,050/103 1/30 MICROCANCERS BECOME CLINICALY DETECTABLE (MEYER 2000)
THYROID NODULES • CYST • HETEROGENOUS ENDEMIC GOITER • ADENOMA • THYROIDIS • CANCER • LYMPHOMA • EXTRATHYROIDAL LESION
THYROID CANCERS INCIDENCE B/106 F/106 • USA: 2,4-2,8 5,6-6,2 • Australia: 0,7 2,1 • Japan: 1.1 2 • Hawai: 3,1 4 • Germany: 2,7 • USA: ’85-’95: 13.856 cases = 1 % Cancer Data Base Necropsies: Honolulu: 15,16% Hiroshima 25,3 USA: 1,09-1,84 MORBIDITY: NEW CASES /106/ year • SOKAL 1954: 12 / 106/ year • CUTTLER 1975: femei: 52 /106/year barbati: 21/ 106/year • INGBAR 1981: 36 / 106/year • IMPIERI 1984: 10-30 / 106/year • MAZAFFERRY 1988 : 37 / 106/year
Steady increase of thyroid cancer all over the worldBetween 1973-2002 • Mortality decreased from 0.57 to 0.47/105/year • external irradiation stopped after 1961 • precocious diagnosis by ultrasound and FNB • increased incidence but stable mortality • Papillary cancer has a long evolution and excellent survival • 2.4 times increase in thyroid cancer incidence • All thyroid cancer • 3.6/105 8.7/105/year • Papillary cancer • 2.7/105 7.7/105/year • Small papillary cancer • 87 % of the cancer increase
Trends in thyroid cancer • There was noticed steady increase of thyroid cancer all over the world • External irradiation is the only well documented cause in papillary thyroid cancer leading to RET/PTC re-arrangements • Iodine deficiency may play a role in the development of follicular cancer and may favor the development of anaplastic carcinoma • Iodine repletion is associated with increased incidence of papillary carcinoma with excellent prognosis

Etiology and patogeny of thyroid cancers external irradiation: “ ..until now the only carcinogenetic factor for the thyroid in man is external irradiation Duffy si Fitzgerald 1936: firs obsercation of radiatioon induced thyroid cancer in children irradiated for benign lesions of head and neck New cases of thyroid cancer in in Belarus 1990-1995 –Cernobil effect ( Pacini: J.Clin.Endorinol.Metab.1997) 1990 – 31, 1991 – 66, 1992 – 72, 1993 – 94, 1994 – 96, 1995 – 90 78.8 % sub 14 ani Prezumed thyroid cancer: 10- 40 Excess of thryodi cancer due to external irradiation after Cernobil: 200 - 800 Increased susceptibility: Irradiation of head and neck in all children • external irradiation for othe rcancers • Vage less than 20 years • Female sex • Genetic predisposition
