OSORIO, Carlos et al. Características clínicas asociadas al hallazgo de cáncer de tiroides originado a partir de nódulos calientes en pacientes con hipertiroidismo: reporte de un caso y revisión sistemática de la literatura. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.4, pp.682-695.  Epub 17-Feb-2022. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.790.

Coexistence between thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism is rare, and most of the nodular lesions from which a malignant tumor is documented in this group of patients correspond to cold nodules. Justified by the increasing number of reports in the literature about malignant tumors diagnosed from hot nodules, a systematic review was carried out to determine possible factors associated with the diagnosis of thyroid cancer from hot nodules in patients with hyperthyroidism. The results suggest that the clinical diagnosis of toxic nodular goiter, nodular lesions of diameter > 10 mm and a histological type compatible with a follicular carcinoma, are factors that on their own increase the risk of making the diagnosis of cancer from a hot nodule.

Palabras clave : thyroid gland; thyroid neoplasms; hyperthyroidism; thyroid nodule; adenocarcinoma, follicular; systematic review.
