Pulmonary metastases from thyroid carcinoma typically cause a micronodular or miliary pattern throughout both lungs. Metastasis consisting of a solitary pulmonary nodule measuring 20 mm in diameter is rare. Here we report a case of a 66-year-old woman without a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma who presented with a pulmonary nodule measuring 20 mm in diameter, found on chest computed tomog...

We describe a 39-year-old woman presenting with a painless solitary thyroid nodule, initially without signs suggesting thyroiditis. The serum level of thyrotropin was suppressed whereas those of thyroxine and triiodothyronine were normal. Fine needle aspiration cytology showed no signs of inflammation or malignancy. One week later, the patient felt pain and tenderness on her neck, and erythrocy...

A 50-year-old woman presented with a lateral neck swelling, clinically indistinguishable from solitary thyroid nodule. A right hemithyroidectomy was performed and microscopy revealed an intrathyroidal thyroglossal cyst. Intrathyroidal thyroglossal cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule.

Solitary nodule of thyroid can exhibit various pathology like adenoma cyst thyroiditis lymphoma and thyroid carcinoma. Objective: The aim and objective of this study to find out incidence and prevalence of solitary nodule of thyroid in semi urban regions. Clinical data , various presentation of swelling , clinical symptoms and signs to study the correlative findings of pre FNAC and post operati...

Isolated involvement of the thyroid by tuberculosis is very rare as reported in literature. We are presenting a case of isolated tuberculous thyroiditis presented as a solitary thyroid nodule. The patient was treated with anti-tuberculous regimen and he responded well with disappearance of the nodule and normalization of the thyroid scan.

It has long been recognized that tumors of capillary vessels in the lung are extremely rare. While pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, which is a rare cause of pulmonary hypertension, is relatively well known, there have been only a few reports of solitary capillary hemangioma (SCH) of the lung. Herein we report two cases of SCH. Both cases were first detected as a solitary nodule of the lung ...

We report the case of a 63-year-old female patient who was evaluated due to a solitary pulmonary nodule. The final diagnosis was a solitary peripheral pulmonary artery saccular aneurysm. The patient was submitted to a pulmonary lobectomy with excellent recovery. Peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms that arise from segmental or intrapulmonary branches are extremely rare, and their management is...

Enterobius vermicularis is responsible for a variety of diseases but rarely affects the liver. Accurate characterisation of suspected liver metastases is essential to avoid unnecessary surgery. In the presented case, following a diagnosis of rectal cancer, a solitary liver nodule was diagnosed as a liver metastasis due to typical radiological features and subsequently resected. At pathological ...

This report describes the case of an asymptomatic, solitary splenotic nodule in the right ovary, revealed incidentally at histopathological examination. In gynaecological patients, splenosis most often presents as multiple pelvic nodules mimicking endometriosis. Two cases of ovarian splenosis accompanying pelvic and serosal splenotic nodules have been reported previously. However, this is the f...
