abstract: At the Surgery Clinic of the Endocrinology Institute in Lódź we operated 12 344 patients between 1974 and 1992 because of various types of goitre. Among these there were 295 children and adolescents, 2.4%- aged between 9-18 years: 268 girls (90.8%) and 27 boys (9.2%). The goitre was 9.9 times more frequent in girls than in boys.
