title: [Nosological structure of thyroid nodular lesions by autopsy data].
abstract: 629 autopsies were studied to elucidate nosological structure of thyroid nodular lesions. The material was epidemiologically representative in relation to older Moscow population. Colloid stroma with proliferation, atrophic and scarred alteration (total 80.3% cases) prevailed among nodular lesions more than 1 cm in diameter followed by adenomas (11.6%), carcinoma (5.8%) and autoimmune thyroiditis (2.3%). It is shown that alcoholic disease is associated with thyroid atrophy and low risk of goiter alteration.
