Of 254 primary malignant tumors of the thyroid gland diagnosed in the pathology department of the University of Cape Town, 212 (83.5%) were differentiated carcinomas. In this differentiated group, tumors composed exclusively of papillary structures exhibited the most favorable prognosis; local recurrences and/or spread were noted in tumors with a mixed papillary and follicular pattern and, more commonly association with 21 tumors (8.3%) but an associated multinodular goitre was found in only nine patients (3.5%). In addition to the well-known preponderance of thyroid carcinoma in women, a majority of lesions occurred in white patients in this series despite a higher hospital admission rate for coloreds (mulattos).
在开普敦大学病理科诊断的254例原发性甲状腺恶性肿瘤中，212例（83.5%）为分化型癌。在这个分化型组中，仅由乳头状结构组成的肿瘤预后最佳；乳头状和滤泡状混合模式的肿瘤出现局部复发和/或扩散，更常见的是与21例肿瘤（8.3%）相关，但仅9例患者（3.5%）发现伴有多结节性甲状腺肿。除了众所周知的甲状腺癌在女性中占优势外，尽管有色人种（混血儿）的住院率较高，但本系列中的大多数病变发生在白人患者中。
