If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

OR

Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].

OR

Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.

The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

Common complications of [disease name] include:
- [Complication 1]
- [Complication 2]
- [Complication 3]

Prognosis is generally good for benign goiters.
Although the prognosis is good and the risk is low, caution is advised for the possible development of malignancy.
Careful monitoring of size, shape and consistency associated with pain is advised.
Radiation exposure has been attributed to the possible development of malignancy.
