| pubmed-article:8957485 | pubmed:abstractText | Riedel's thyroiditis is an often disabling disease with clinical and histologic similarity to several other fibrous inflammatory disorders. Surgical treatment alone is often unsatisfactory in permanently alleviating airway compression, dysphagia, neck immobility, pain, or chronic fatigue syndrome. Investigation of drugs shown to be of benefit in the treatment of related fibrous disorders in which hormonal factors or inflammatory deregulation appear to be important is indicated. Tamoxifen has not been previously used in the treatment of Riedel's thyroiditis. | lld:pubmed |
