The incidence of canceration of this disease is 0.5% - 22.5%, and most reports are 5% - 17.7%. Therefore, we must be vigilant.

Second: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is characterized by hyperthyroidism or diffuse goiter at the initial stage, will generally develop into hypothyroidism and lead to lifelong hormone therapy if not treated actively. This is generally not malignant, the best regular inspection.

Third: if tissue necrosis occurs, it will form necrotic cyst. Peripheral tissue necrosis, blood vessels lose tissue support and rupture, will form hemorrhagic cysts, thyroid cancer can be caused by necrosis, bleeding, liquefaction and cysts, thyroid cysts can also occur canceration.
