[Clinical research of Hashimoto's disease with thyroid carcinoma].
OBJECTIVE
To study the relation diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's disease (HD) with thyroid carcinoma (TC).


METHODS
The relation diagnosis and surgical treatment of 150 cases of HD including 15 cases of TC were analyzed.


RESULTS
The coexistent rate of HD with TC was 10%. The 15 cases were all women, with a mean age of 36.5 years, and they were surgically treated. Follow-up for 4 months to 19 years showed that the 15 cases were alive without recurrence.


CONCLUSIONS
Surgical treatment is indicated for patients with HD associated with TC. The essential factors for diagnosis and rational treatment are a detailed understanding of clinical feature, routine examination of serum antibodies, B-ultrasonic examination and selective FNAC.
