Abstract :
Gastric acid secretion induces the inner lining
of the gastrointestinal tract to rupture, which is the
hallmark of peptic ulcer disease. It mainly affects the
stomach and proximal duodenum, but it can also affect
the lower esophagus, distal duodenum, or jejunum. The
two main factors interfering with the mucosal resistance
to damage are H. pylori and NSAIDs.
Goitre is a disorder characterized by an enlarged
thyroid gland that may or may not be linked to hyper or
hypothyroidism. It can be manifested with normal
thyroid hormone levels (euthyroid).
Both the entities are different. Here, we describe a
case of peptic ulcer discovered in a patient who had
undergone a total thyroidectomy recently for a massive
diffuse nodular goitre.
