Overview
Discovery
- The most evident sign of thyroid pathology is goiter, which used to be referred to bronchocoele.
- In 1656, Thomas Wharton named the gland the “thyroid,” referring to its shield-like shape.
- In 1811, Bernard Courtois discovered iodine and in 1813, W. Prout used iodine to treat thyroid goiter.
- In 1835, James Graves provided the primary description of exophthalmic goiter.
- In 1833, Allan Burns and Gaspard Bayle distinguished thyroid cancer from goiter.[1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1880, Ludwig Rehn preformed the first total thyroidectomy.
- In 1885, J. Mikulicz-Radecki preformed the first subtotal thyroidectomy.
- In 1934, Frederic and Irene Joliot-Curie discovered radioactive iodine isotope, which catalyzed diagnosis and treatment methods for thyroid diseases.
