Follicular thyroid carcinoma in a child presenting as autonomously functioning thyroid nodule
Thyroid nodules are uncommon in children (1.5%). However, the incidence of thyroid carcinoma in childhood thyroid nodules (26.4%) is 3-4 folds higher than in adults. Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN) or hot nodules account for less than 3% of hyperthyroidism in children and carry a small risk of malignancy (2-5%). The majority of malignant hot nodules are papillary thyroid carcino...
متن کاملAutonomously functioning thyroid nodule treated with radioactive iodine and later diagnosed as papillary thyroid cancer.
UNLABELLED The malignancy risk is low in hot thyroid nodules verified by scintigraphy. We present a rare case of papillary carcinoma, initially treated as an autonomous hot nodule. Case report. A 36-year old male patient with a hot thyroid nodule and subclinical hyperthyroidism was treated with 10mCi 131 I.

متن کاملThyroid Tuberculosis Presenting as a Cystic Nodule
Although tuberculosis involves every organ and has a wide range of clinical manifestation, however involvement of the thyroid gland is rare. We report a case of a 25-yr-old female with supraclavicular lymphadenitis that developed nodular swelling of the thyroid and had symptoms and sonographic features mimicking a nodule with a cystic component. The diagnosis was made by using fine needle aspir...
متن کاملPapillary thyroid carcinoma without metastases manifesting as an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule.
A 59-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma inside of an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule is described in this report. The patient was referred to our clinic because of rapid weight loss and swelling on the left side of the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid demonstrated a nonhomogeneous nodule in the lower part of an enlarged left lobe. Both 99mTc and 123I thyroid scintigraph...
متن کاملFollicular thyroid cancer presenting initially with soft tissue metastasis.
Follicular thyroid cancer rarely manifests itself as a distant metastatic lesion. We report a case of an otherwise asymptomatic 58-year-old woman with follicular thyroid cancer who initially presented with a soft tissue mass on the right scapular region. An incisional biopsy specimen of soft tissue metastasis showed thyroid follicular neoplasm. Upon this diagnosis, the thyroid gland was re-eval...
