Thyroid h Flashcards
Thyroid
Micro L Cystic Peripheral vascularutt Round shape —-
Type 1 deiodinase
Outer and inner Rung
Deiodinase
Subcellular location in endoplasmic reticulim
Type 2
Deiodinase
Outer ri g
Type 2
Deiodinase
High susceptibility to PTU
Type 1
Inner and outer
Deiodinase
Decreased response to increased T4 (the rest increases)
Type 2
Deiodinase
Source of plasma t3 in thyroyoxic patients
Type 3
Deiodinase
Found in liver kidney thyroid pituitary
Type 1
Effects of thyrotoxicosis in CV system
> decreased peripheral vasc resistance to dissipate heat
> inc CO inc HR inc SV
Mechanism of increased cardiac contractility in thyrotoxicosis
Increase in ratio of alpha to B myosin chain
Mearns Lerman scratch
Scratchy systolic sound in left sternal border resembling a oleuripericardialnfriction rub found in thyrotoxicosis
% of px with unexplained atrial fibrillation who are thyrotoxic
15%
Percent of px with thyroxtoxicosis who have atrial fibrillation
2-20%
Most common thyroid neoplasm
Folliculae adenoma
Dose of rTSh
0.01 to 0.03 mg
TNM scoring
T4
T0 no evidence of prary tumor T1 <1 T2 2-3 T3 4 cm limited to thyroid T4 extending beyond the thyroid
Most impt cytologic variant of thyroid CA whicb composed predominantly entirely of large cells with granular eosinophilic cytoplasm
Oxyphilic / oncocytic/ hurthle cell adenoma
alignant
PTC variant with poor progmostic finding
Hobnail variant with micropapillary pattern
PTC variant cells twice as tall as they are wide
Tall cell variant
PTC variant prominent nuclear stratification of elongated cells
Columnar cell variant
Aggrassive variants
Tall cell
Columnar cell variant
Nuclear changes in FNA
Nuclei are larger than N folloculae cells and overlap
Fissured like coffee beans
Ground glass nuclei (Chromatin hypodense)
Contain an inclusion corresponding to cytoplasmic invagination
Protooncogene whose activation is found only in PTC
RET
Where is RET found
Chr 10q11-2
% of thyroid malignancies that are medullar
5%
Mutation found in tall cell bariant of PtC
BRAF
Associated with higher risk of recurrence
Age papillary thyroid CA
30- 50 yrs
Female predominance of ptca
80
FTC
Invasion of capsule blood vessel or adjacent thyroid
CA more common in areas with iosine deficiency
Folliculae CA
Oncogene in FTCs
RAS oncogene
Cytogenetic abnormality limited to FTC
P arm chromosome 3
Age anaplastic thyroid CA
After 60 yrs
FTC- 50 yrs ave
Hypothyroidism without a goiter
Atrophoc thyroiditis
Commoneat cause of goiter in iodine sufficient regions
Hasimotos
Presence of this may be a favorable prognostic factor in patients with papillaryy CA
Hasimoto
Suspected in hashimoto px witb painful enlargement of the thyroid gland
Occurs almost exclusively in hasimoto patients
THYROID LYMPHOMA
Impairment of intrathyroidL Nd peripheral deiodinatjon of iodotyrosines
Ipdotyrosine dehydrofenSe defect
DEHAL1B gene
Unusual cause of hypothyroidism that has been identified in infants with viceral hemangiomas
Consumptive hypothyroidism
Contained in cassava
Linamarin
Tsh goal of treafment in Hashimoto
Tsh in the lower half of the reference interval
Action of lithium and why it causes hypothyroidism
Inhibirs thyroid hormone release
In high concentrations can inhibit organic binding reactions
