title: [Surgical treatment of thyroid diseases in children].
abstract: The results treatment of 33 children at the age between 3 and 15 with surgical pathology of thyroid gland have been estimated. They have demonstrated that malignant neoplasma (cancer) is very rare in this group of patients 15.5%. The diseases of the thyroid gland may cause some difficulties in diagnosis and choosing the method of treatment. All sizeable formations of the neck that lie medial or paramedial have to be examined with ultrasound. The removal of dystopic thyroid gland usually causes hypothyrosis. It is difficult to differentiate adenomas and cysts from malignant tumours and that is why it is necessary to do a puncture biopsy and subsequent surgery.
