Abstract
The paper presents clinicomorphological characteristics of follicular tumors of the thyroid in young persons exposed to low-dose radiation after the Chernobyl accident. Follicular thyroid adenomas were more frequent (89.4%) and follicular cancer less so. Most of the patients were females (89.4%). No correlations were found between morphological structure of the tumors, symptoms, tumor size and thickness of the capsule. Radiodiagnosis showed that the majority of tumors (63.9%) were "cold". 14.9% of cases had multinodular thyroid lesions. Oxyphilic cell composition of the tumor was registered in 14.9% patients. Formation of papillary structures took place in 52.4% of the follicular adenomas. Epidemiological and molecular-genetic studies should be performed to elucidate the role of the radiation factor in induction of morphological changes in thyroid tissue.
