FINAL DIAGNOSIS:
mae cke 4
At the Cleveland Metropolitan General
Hospital, Dr. Brown Dobyns performed
thyroid surgery on June llch. A 1.5 cm nodule was removed from the right lobe
and a right lobectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was “thyroid
adencmata” She withstood surgery well, with no complications. Post-operative
convalescence was uneventful and she was discharged June 18th for return to the
Marshall Islands. The hospital summary and pathological reports from the
Cleveland Hospital are inserted in her BNL record.
In view of her low thyroid reserve and
right lobectomy performed, supplementary thyroxin treatment was considered “but, in view of her hypertension and age, it
was considered better to observe her and see if supplemental therapy was necessary.
She will, therefore, be observed at regular intervals on her return home to check
on her thyroid stacus.
