abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment of Hashimoto's disease complicated with thyroid cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical data of 54 patients with Hashimoto's disease complicated with thyroid cancer were retrospectively analyzed, including clinical characteristics, surgical treatment, and short-term effects.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rate of Hashimoto's disease complicated with thyroid cancer was 14.9%, 54 out of in 362 patients with Hashimoto's disease. All the 54 patients had surgical treatment in proper thyroid region, took euthyrox after the operation and had 6 month to 4 year followup. One patient had a local recurrence and 3 had lymph node metastasis in the neck, and these 4 patients had second operation on the thyroid gland. No death occurred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
