title: [Autonomous thyroid adenoma in an 11 years old girl with childhood hyperthyroidism (author's transl)].
abstract: The thyroid gland of an eleven year old girl developed a 3 x6 cm nodule with endocrine activity and storage ability. Szintigraphic examination with TSH simulation identified it as an autonomous decompensating adenoma. Within a few months a clinically mild hyperthyreotic state developed. After surgical removal histology showed a follicular adenoma with papillary characteristics. Postoperatively thyroid hormon therapy was started.
