Overview
Riedel's thyroiditis is classified as rare. Most patients remain euthyroid, but approximately 30% of patients become hypothyroid and very few patients are hyperthyroid. It is mostly seen in women.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Riedel's thyroiditis is estimated to be approximately 1.06 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2]
Prevalence
- Riedel's thyroiditis is rare. In 1985, 37 patients reported were identified with Riedel's thyroiditis over a 64-yr period during which over 56,000 thyroidectomies were performed in a study.[2]
Case-fatality rate
- There are no reports of reduced life expectancy in subjects with Riedel's thyroiditis. One lethal case of RT has been described up until now.[3]
Age
Race
- There is no racial predilection to Riedel's thyroiditis.
Gender
- Females are more commonly affected by Riedel's thyroiditis than men. Women have been noted to be affected 3-fold more frequently than men.[4][5]
