Introduction: Radiofrecuency ablation (RFA) represents an alternative to surgery for benign thyroid nodules with pressure symptoms or evident progressive growth.Objetives: To analyze in our center the efficacy and safety at 6 montns of a single session treatment of RFA performed in predominantly solid thyroid nodules.Patients and methods: 17 patients with citologically benign thyroid nodules with pressure symptoms (dysphonia, dyspn...

Introduction: Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) can present a high morbi-mortality.Initial subtype identification facilitates appropriate management.We describe the utility of diagnostic tests in a cohort of patients with AIT.Material and methods: Retrospective, observational study of 59 patients attended from 2007 to 2018 in outpatient clinic. Differential diagnosis: type I if FT4 and FT3 (TH) were normalized following therapy with antithyroid dru...

Introduction: The majority of current guidelines recommend surgery for benign solid nodules with pressure symptoms or a significant growth. Currently, minimal invasive techniques have emerged such as radiofrequency ablation (RF) which achieve significant volume decrease and many cases, the improvement or disappearance of pressure symptoms.Results: We describe the efficacy and safety of one single-session of RF in our centre performed in thyroid nodules f...
