Postmortem morphologic examination of the thyroid was performed in 122 residents of the Minsk Region, Byelorussian Republic. Various pathology underdiagnosed during life was found in 68%. Fourteen papillary carcinomas were detected in 11 (9.9%) of cases whereas 27 (22.1%) subjects revealed 46 follicular adenomas. Nodular goiter was established in 52.5%, thyroiditis--6.5% and cancer metastases--in 5.7% of cases. The male/female ratio for microcarcinoma was 8:3. All tumor-bearing subjects were over 41 years of age. Occurrence of the occult thyroid pathology in different regions of the country can be used to compare potential radiation and other hazards.

To reveal the thyroid diseases, 115 patients having different abnormalities of this organ were examined with the use of thermography. The data obtained were compared with those of the control group of 20 practically healthy subjects as well as with the clinical picture and the radioisotopic, histologic and cytologic findings. Thermography made it possible to identify the disorders in 97.3% of the cases. Nodular goiter was characterized by hypothermia, whereas the diffuse toxic forms by hyperthermia in the thyroid projection. Struma maligna was characterized by the presence of a focus of hyperthermia. In disseminated processes, diffuse hyperthermia was detectable in the region of neoplastic metastases as well.
