The authors reviewed 83.250 clinical histories from the files of a hospital, among which they found 49 thyroid carcinomas whose characteristics they study. It is interesting to note the great incidence of papilliferous carcinoma (53 per cent of cases); a most marked incidence of the condition in female patients; the slight difference in the age of the patients with all types of carcinoma; and, above all, the atypicity of the onset symptoms in a large number of cases (28 per cent). According to these data, the authors suggest that it is advisable to bare in mind the possibility of the presence of thyroid carcinoma in patients with such unmatched pictures as suppurative thyroiditis, sciatica or cervical adenopathy, with absence of goiter, etc.
作者查阅了一家医院档案中的83250份临床病历，从中发现了49例甲状腺癌，并对其特征进行了研究。值得注意的是，乳头状癌的发病率很高（占病例的53%）；女性患者中该疾病的发病率最为显著；各类癌症患者的年龄差异不大；最重要的是，大量病例（28%）的发病症状具有非典型性。根据这些数据，作者建议，对于患有化脓性甲状腺炎、坐骨神经痛或颈部腺病等不典型病症且无甲状腺肿的患者，应考虑到甲状腺癌存在的可能性。
