Nodular Thyroid Disease in Functional Pituitary Adenomas: Similarities and Differences

Nodular Thyroid Disease in Functional Pituitary Adenomas: Similarities and Differences

Purpose: Increased frequency of nodular thyroid disease (NTD) is reported in acromegalic patients. Recent studies also demonstrated an increased coexistence of NTD with Cushing’s disease (CD) and prolactinoma. In this study, we evaluated the frequency and outcomes of NTD in functional pituitary aden...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose: Increased frequency of nodular thyroid disease (NTD) is reported in acromegalic patients. Recent studies also demonstrated an increased coexistence of NTD with Cushing’s disease (CD) and prolactinoma. In this study, we evaluated the frequency and outcomes of NTD in functional pituitary adenoma (FPA) patients. Material and Methods: A total of 232 (138 F/94 M) patients with a diagnosis of acromegaly (n=138), prolactinoma (n=59) and CD (n=35) were included in this retrospective observational study. Frequency of NTD, fineneedle aspiration (FNA) results, frequency of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are compared in each group. Factors related with NTD development are evaluated in FPA patients with and without nodule. Results: NTD frequency was higher in acromegaly (69%) compared to prolactinoma (36%) and CD (34%) (p
