29
Q

infiltrative ophthalmopathy due to lymphocytes, edema, matrix, and fat deposition behind the eye

A

Graves disease

30
Q

hyperthyroidism
exopthalmus
dermopathy (pretibial myxedema)

A

Graves disease

31
Q

tall, crowded follicular epithelial cells
scalloped colloid

A

Graves disease

32
Q

goiter is usually

A

euthyroid

33
Q

in iodine deficiency, goiter is initially […], multinodular appearance occurs after […]

A

diffuse
multiple cycles of hyperplasia and involution

34
Q

if a patient with multinodular goiter is presenting with obstructive symptoms, what is the best next step?

A

surgery to relive pressure on airway

**due to extreme fibrosis of nodules, it will not resolve on its own

35
Q

euthyroid goiter due to cycles of hyperplasa/hypoplasia is most commonly caused by

A

iodine deficiency

**treat with iodine intake

36
Q

triple test for thyroid evaluation

A

hormonal assessment
radiographic imaging
FNA

37
Q

features that might suggest thyroid neoplasm [5]

A

solitary nodule
younger age
male
prior radiation
non-functional (cold)

38
Q

which type of nodule is closely associated with malignancy?

only definitive treatment for thyroid cancer

A

surgical removal

42

benign tumor
solitary, discrete, encapsulated
euthyroid

A

adenoma

43
Q

capsular or vascular invasion
RAS or PI3K activation

A

follicular carcinoma

44
Q

FNA may be unable to distinguish follicular adenoma from […]

A
