| Popis: | Physicians and surgeons pay much attention to evaluating thyroid nodules due to the malignant potential of these growths. Inflammation has a crucial role in the development of cancer. Increase in the mean platelet volume (MPV) has been described in various inflammatory conditions. Since some of thyroid nodules are malignant, we aimed to compare MPV values between patients with malignant and benign thyroid nodules after precise pathologic diagnosis. We retrospectively analyzed hemograms of patients having undergone thyroid surgery for thyroid nodule between January 2013 and January 2015, and compared them to those recorded in healthy subjects. MPV was higher in the malignant thyroid nodule group than in the benign nodule group (9.1±1 fL vs. 7.8±0.8 fL). The difference was statistically significant (p Liječnici i kirurzi pridaju veliku pozornost procjeni čvorova štitne žlijezde zbog malignog potencijala ovih novotvorina. Upala ima ključnu ulogu u razvoju raka. Povećani srednji volumen trombocita (mean platelet volume, MPV) opisuje se u raznim upalnim stanjima. Kako su neki od čvorova štitne žlijezde zloćudni cilj nam je bio usporediti vrijednosti MPV između bolesnika sa zloćudnim i dobroćudnim čvorovima štitnjače nakon precizne patološke dijagnoze. Retrospektivno su analizirani hemogrami bolesnika podvrgnutih operaciji štitne žlijezde zbog čvorova od siječnja 2013. do siječnja 2015. godine te uspoređeni s vrijednostima dobivenim u zdravih osoba. MPV je bio viši u skupini zloćudnih tireoidnih čvorova nego u skupini dobroćudnih čvorova (9,1±1 fL prema 7,8±0,8 fL), a razlika je bila statistički značajna (p |
