Spontaneous remission of a large thyroid tumour

Maltoma of Thyroid: A Rare Thyroid Tumour

Introduction. Primary thyroid lymphomas constitute up to 5% of all thyroid malignancies and can be divided into non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) of B- and T-cell types, as well as Hodgkin's lymphomas. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are a relatively recently recognized subset of B-cell NHLs, and they are listed as extranodal marginal zone lymphomas according to the revised Euro...

Spontaneous remission of African lymphoma.

THE extreme sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the relatively high incidence of long-term survivals observed in the treatment of African lymphoma is now well known (Burkitt, Hutt and Wright, 1965 ; Clifford, 1966 ; Ngu, 1966). The observation that long-term remissions, amounting to possible cures. can follow a single dose of chemotherapy (Burkitt, 1966) suggests a strong antitumo...

A case of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the bladder with prolonged spontaneous remission

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the urinary bladder are rare. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with back pain and acute renal failure. Ultrasound showed a soft tissue mass in the base of the bladder causing bilateral ureteric obstruction. Subsequent biopsy of this mass demonstrated neuroendocrine carcinoma. He was commenced on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (carbopl...

Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase and Risk of Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Background Approximately 2-4% of all women have recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA); however, the cause is determined in only 50% of cases. Recent studies have shown an association between thyroid autoantibodies as a sign of thyroid autoimmunity and abortion. The aim of the present study was to determine whether circulating anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) was associated with RSA. MaterialsA...
