~ DISCHARGE SUMMARY
-2HOSPITALCOURSECONTINUED:
At the Cleveland Metropolitan General
Hospjtal, surgery was performed by Dr.
Brown Dobyns.
One day, prior to surgery 25 mu Ci
I was given orally in order to
do autoradiographic studies of removed thyroid tissues.
Surgical expiration revealed
a single mass in the mid-right lobe which was removed along with a part of the right
lobe. The pathological diagnosis was thyroid adenoma with degeneration. The tumor
was "cool" based on radiation counting.
The patient withstood the surgery well and
convalescence was uneventful. She was discharged to travel back to the Marshall Islands
on June 18th.
The Hospital Summary and Pathological Reports from the Cleveland Hospital
are incorporated in these records.
FINALDIAGNOSIS:
Degenerative cystic thyweéd adenoma.
In view of the fact that the patient had
adequate thyroid function and so little of
the thyroid was removed at surgery, no supplementary thyroxin treatment was prescribed.
The patient was advised to have the lesons of her cervix checked at intervals.
carry out regular followup examinations on this case.
