  • THYROID CYST TREATED WITH ASPIRATION AND ETHANOL SCLEROTHERAPY

    From September 1988 to May 1985, 67 cases of thyroid cysts were treated with aspiration and ethanol injection. Patients were followed up clinically and ultrasonically 6 month to 4 years after treatment. Cure was defined as complete disappealance of the cyst or presence of a residual fibrotic mass less than 1 cm in diameter, effectiveness was defined as the residual mass less than 50% of the original one. After one to three injections, 27 out of 36 patients of thyroid adnoma with cystic change (75 %)were cured, the effective rate was 88.2%. The cure rate of nodular goiter with cystic change was 50%(14 out of 28 cases, while the effective rate was 82%.No serious complication occurred in this series. During the period of following up, no malignant change was found. The results suggest that aspiration of thyroid cyst with ethanol injection is a simple, well tolerated and low cost technique.
