- Goiter with hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism):
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland).
- Late stage thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland).
- Genetic defects of thyroid hormone synthesis:
- Defective thyroperoxidase
- Missing deiodinase
- Defective iodine transport
- Thyroid hormone resistance (rare): defect of thyroid hormone receptor → T3↑, T4↑ and TSH normal; usually there is euthyroid thyroid function.
- Goiter with hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism):
- Initial stage of thyroiditis
- Autonomous (independent) thyroid adenoma
- Graves’ disease (autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland).
Cardiovascular system (I00-I99)
- Aortic aneurysm – wall bulge in the aorta that is life-threatening when ruptured (rupture).
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Bronchial carcinoma (lung cancer)
- Malignant lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes)
- Thyroid carcinoma (thyroid cancer)
- Teratoma (miracle tumor) – organ-like mixed tumor that develops from primitive, omnipotent germ cells. the following forms are distinguished: mature (coetaneous – benign/good) and immature (dedifferentiated – malignant/malignant: teratocarcinoma).
- Thymoma – rare neoplasm originating from the thymus; approximately three-quarters of these tumors are benign/benign and only one-quarter are malignant/malignant; the malignant ones are called malignant thymoma or thymic carcinoma
