Resumen

Introducción: el carcinoma diferenciado del tiroides representa la neoplasia maligna más frecuente en Endocrinología. Su presentación clínica y su diagnóstico se han modificado gracias a la disponibilidad de herramientas diagnósticas, tales como, el ultrasonido tiroideo y la biopsia aspirativa con aguja fina.
Objetivos: describir las características clínicas, ultrasonográficas y citohistológicas de los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente por enfermedad tiroidea maligna, y evaluar en ellos la prevalencia de hipocalcemia crónica y el valor de la hormona estimulante del tiroides.
Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, en el cual se revisaron los informes consecutivos de Anatomía Patológica de todos los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente por enfermedad tiroidea nodular en el Hospital General Provincial "Camilo Cienfuegos" en el periodo comprendido de enero de 2012 a diciembre 2014. La muestra estuvo conformada por 118 historias clínicas de pacientes operados por enfermedad tiroidea nodular que reunieron los criterios siguientes: datos clínicos, resultados según los criterios de Bethesda de la punción aspirativa con aguja fina, del ultrasonido del tiroides y la biopsia. A estos pacientes se les citó para una evaluación clínica y se les determinó en ayunas, la hormona estimulante del tiroides y en 2 días diferentes, la calcemia. Los pacientes fueron clasificados en portadores de: enfermedad tiroidea maligna (n= 39) y enfermedad tiroidea benigna (n= 79).
Resultados: clínicamente solo el 15,4 % de los pacientes con enfermedad tiroidea maligna presentaron dolor o molestia espontánea y/o a la palpación de la glándula del tiroides. La enfermedad tiroidea maligna se diagnosticó en todas las categorías del citodiagnóstico: I: 1/1 (100 %), II: 8/83 (9,6 %), III: 4/6 (66,7 %), IV: 2/2 (100 %), V: 18/20 (90 %), VI: 6/6 (100 %). El carcinoma papilar representó la neoplasia más frecuentemente diagnosticada (37/39 pacientes), el 33,3 % de estos enfermos mostraron cifras de hormona estimulante del tiroides por encima de 2,0 mU/L, y hubo un 46,15 % de hipocalcemia crónica.
Conclusiones: el carcinoma papilar fue la neoplasia más frecuentemente diagnosticada en los pacientes operados por enfermedad tiroidea maligna. La mayoría de estos pacientes tuvieron un comportamiento subclínico, un tercio de valores no óptimos de la hormona estimulante del tiroides y una prevalencia alta de hipocalcemia crónica.
