The combination of cystic thyroid changes with cystic changes in other organs

Abstract

The combination of cystic changes in the thyroid gland with a violation of its function with cystic changes in other organs is rare and is of practical interest. Thyroid dysfunction can be due to various causes. In the literature, there are a small number of observations of a combination of cystic changes in a number of organs, including the thyroid gland.

The literature describes the combination of congenital cysts of the lungs, kidneys, thyroid gland in a child of 11 months, who was diagnosed with polycystic left kidney and multiple thin-walled cavities in the lower pulmonary field. Left-sided nephrectomy was performed. In 3 years - left-sided hemistrumectomy for macrofollicular adenoma of the thyroid gland. In the dynamics of the patient there was an increase in the size of cysts in the lungs without clinical manifestation. In adults, such changes are not described. This article presents a case of cystic thyroid changes with hyperthyroidism combined with cystic liver and kidney changes.
