Submandibular ectopic thyroid tissue diagnosed by ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy.
Ectopic thyroid gland is rarely seen in the submandibular region, thereby posing difficult diagnostic and management problems. Two Caucasian women presented with painful swelling in the submandibular region, which increased in size considerably during the preceding months. Ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (Ug-FNB) revealed ectopic thyroid tissue. In conclusion, ectopic thyroid gland with or...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy--the way forward.
Dear Editor, I read with great interest the recent article published in the Annals of Academy of Medicine Singapore entitled, ‘Surgeon-Performed Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (SP-US-FNAC) Shortens Time for Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules, Ann Acad Med Singapore 2014;43:320-4’. Indeed, ultrasound-guided fi ne-needle aspiration (US-FNA) is an exceptionally valuable and simple app...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Vs Fine-Needle Biopsy.
RM The primary goal of fine-needle aspiration is to acquire individual cells as opposed to tissue, which is the aim of fine-needle biopsy. Cells may not necessarily provide the stroma, or the associated architecture, of the surrounding tissue. Thus, if the surrounding architecture is needed to make a diagnosis, a fine-needle biopsy, which typically uses a core biopsy needle, should provide that.

A 59-year-old white man was referred for evaluation of epigastric pain that was radiating to his back and a 5-kg weight loss over 6 months. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a heterogeneous low-attenuation tumor, measuring 5cm in size, adjacent to the celiac artery and the pancreatic body (●" Fig.1).

متن کاملEctopic thyroid cancer diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration
We report a case of papillary carcinoma in a mediastinal ectopic thyroid diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). In this case, the tumor was adjacent to the central airway; therefore, we attempted to perform EBUS-TBNA to obtain specimens for a diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Surgical resection was conducted, and histological evaluatio...
