    Study Notes

    Causes of Various Medical Conditions

    • Cervical lymph node enlargement can be caused by infection, metastatic tumours, lymphoma or sarcoidosis.
    • Malignant metastatic deposits are the most common cause of cervical lymphadenopathy in adults.
    • Lymphoma is the most common ‘haematological’ malignancy affecting the lymphatic system.
    • Cystic hygroma is a congenital collection of lymphatic sacs that may occur on its own or as part of a genetic syndrome.
    • Pharyngeal pouch occurs due to uncoordinated swallowing, leading to a diverticulum of the pharynx.
    • Sialolithiasis accounts for about 50% of disease affecting the salivary glands, and most tumours of the salivary glands are benign.
    • Eye signs of thyrotoxicosis include lid retraction, exophthalmos, ophthalmoplegia, and chemosis.
    • Hyperplastic and multinodular goitre can be caused by iodine deficiency, physiological demand, goitrogens, defects in thyroid hormone synthesis pathway or genetic mutations.
    • Thyrotoxicosis (overproduction of thyroid hormones) can be caused by Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goitre, toxic solitary adenoma, iodine-induced, or TSH-secreting pituitary adenoma.
    • Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition that occurs in all age groups and causes unregulated overproduction of thyroid hormone.
    • Thyroid hormones T3 and T4 increase the metabolic rate of all cells, increase the sensitivity of ß-adrenergic receptors, and stimulate all cells to grow.
    • Hypercalcaemia can be caused by endocrine disorders, malignancy, infections, drugs, or other rare tumours.
