Abstract

The author refers to the changes occurred in thyroid dimensions during pregnancy, evaluated clinically and echographically. He also describes the changes in thyroid normal function on pregnant women and the different stages of the fetal thyroid maturation. Some complementary tests must be carried out, when there is a presence of a goitre nodule, which opportunity and relevance the need are discussed. The possibility of thyroid carcinoma is referred as its most adequate treatment.
