title: [Results of the diagnosis of nodular goiter in children].

Sixteen children were operated and histological examination revealed three times adenoma, twice carcinoma, three times a colloid node, four times a cyst and four times lymphatic thyroiditis. In 10 non-operated children in one a cyst was found and in nine lymphocytic thyroiditis. The authors submit diagnostic conclusions in 28 of different examination methods in the differential diagnosis of nodular goitre in children--red cell sedimentation rate, haemogram, X-ray of the lungs, palpation functional examination of the thyroid gland, sonography, scintigraphy, assessment of autoantibodies, hormonal suppression, aspiration cytology and histological examination.
