Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea. When systemic symptoms such as diarrhea occur, distal metastasis often exists. The most common clinical presentation of MTC is solitary thyroid nodule. It was uncommon that chronic diarrhea as initial presentation of MTC without visible thyroid nodule. A 66-year-old woman suffered from watery diarrhea for 4 months. Irritable...

Thyroid carcinoma is not uncommon in patients with hyperthyroidism. However, the risk of malignancy in patients with autonomously functioning nodules continues to be underestimated in clinical practice, possibly due to the belief of rare co-existence of a "hot" nodule and thyroid carcinoma. We present hereby a man with hyperthyroidism due to a thyroid toxic adenoma, who was subjected to surgery...

OBJECTIVE The frequency of thyroid nodules accompanying Graves' disease and the risk of thyroid cancer in presence of accompanying nodules are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of thyroid nodules and the risk of thyroid cancer in patients operated because of graves' disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five hundred and twenty-six patients in whom thyroidectomy was pe...

Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with several cancer types, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Objective To explore further the relation between PHPT and PTC. Methods By considering patients with PHPT as extra-suspicious for PTC, we studied an exemplar group of patients with PHPT with a small (≤1 cm) thyroid nodule, which was negative in preoperative cytol...

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. On admission, both 99mTc and 131 I thyroid scintigraphic imaging revealed a hot nodule a...

hashimoto’s thyroiditis is associated with an increased risk of developing papillary carcinoma of thyroid. we hereby report a case of hashimoto’s thyroiditis with papillary carcinoma in a 45-year-old ear old female diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (fnac) which was later confirmed on histopathological examination .such an occurrence, when both lesions are picked up on fnac in a patie...

Background: Extramedullary hematopoiesis is known to occur mainly in the organs of reticuloendothelial system. It is very rare for EMH to occur in thyroid nodule without any haematological abnormality. Case: A 71 year healthy male presented with 3 month history of dysphagia to solids. Clinical examination revealed thyroid nodule measuring 1 cm in diameter in right lobe of thyroid gland. FNAC wa...
