Key result
Multiple oxyphil tumours occurred in about 20% of cases and were more frequently found in younger females, associated with thyroiditis, and less often malignant than solitary tumours.

May inform conservative management of multiple oxyphil thyroid tumours; leaves open genetic drivers and prospective validation.
Observational (n=169)
The study differentiates between primary and secondary oxyphilia in thyroid tumours and highlights the clinical and genetic implications of multiple or familial oxyphil tumours.
Katoh et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Oxyphil tumours of the thyroid gland (n=169). Multiple oxyphil tumours vs. Solitary oxyphil tumours was evaluated. Multiple oxyphil tumours occurred in about 20% of cases and were more frequently found in younger females, associated with thyroiditis, and less often malignant than solitary tumours.
