METHODS: The relation diagnosis and surgical treatment of 150 cases of HD including 15 cases of TC were analyzed. RESULTS: The coexistent rate of HD with TC was 10%. The 15 cases were all women, with a mean age of 36.5 years, and they were surgically treated. Follow-up for 4 months to 19 years showed that the 15 cases were alive without recurrence.
