Abstract
During the years 1969-1975, 58 patients were treated for thyroid carcinoma. 48 patients had differentiated and 10 had anaplastic carcinomas. The material is presented with special attention given to diagnostic methods and treatment for the differentiated forms. The value of cytological examination of fine needle biopsy is clearly documented. 40 patients with differentiated carcinomas were treated with total thyroidectomy, with low complication rate. Accidental persistent recurrent nerve paralysis as well as persistent hypoparathyroidism occurred in less than 3%, Subdivision of papillary and follicular carcinomas on the basis of their local growth pattern is emphasized as being of value in the determination of subsequent therapy.
