The favorable
diagnosis given to the head of state "makes us feel more than
happy," underlined Boudou, who has the country’s executive power
in his hands since January 4, the Prensa Latina news agency
reported.
The Argentinean president was discharged from hospital on
Saturday, after being
hospitalized for 72 hours and undergoing total thyroidectomy.
According to the third and last report by the Presidential
Medical Unit, the definitive histopathological study established
the presence of nodules in the two lobes of the thyroid gland,
"but ruled out the presence of carcinogenic cells, modifying the
initial diagnosis of the puncture." Thus, the medical team in
charge considered the surgical treatment carried out sufficient
and the administration of radioactive iodine not necessary, he
added.
On January 4, Cristina Fernandez was operated on at the Austral
Hospital of the locality of Pilar in Buenos Aires, from what was
supposed to be a papillary carcinoma in the right lobe of the
thyroid gland detected on December 22 as a result of routine
medical controls.
