| Abstract: | Endemic goitre is a major concern in many parts of the world, including Southeast Asia. Goitrous thyroid lesion is postulated as a precursor to thyroid cancer (TC). The incidence of carcinoma in MNG is reported with a percentage that varies from 7% to 17%. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the more common histological type arising in multinodular goiter (MNG) followed by follicular carcinoma. |
