Abstract
Thyroid neoplasms were diagnosed in 93 patients (79 women and 14 men) between January 1986 and December 1995. 52 tumours were benign and 41 were malignant An unusual finding was that there were 16 cases each of follicular and papillary carcinomas; that is, more patients with foll icular carcinomas than expected. The significance is discussed.
