Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a common thyroid malignancy reported world wide. It affects females more commonly in the 4th to 6th decades of life. The patients usually present with a painless anterior neck mass and occasionally with lymph node involvement. We report a case of an elderly male who presented with hoarseness and hemoptysis, which warranted bronchoscopy. Biopsy of the intraluminal ...

Aim: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma has a favorable prognosis, even in the presence of distant metastases, if the tumor cells are able to concentrate radioiodine. Nonetheless, up to 30% of thyroid cancer patients with elevated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and negative radioiodine whole-body scan findings represent a diagnostic dilemma. In this study we assessed the diagnostic contribution of anat...

objective(s): in clinical practice, approximately 10-25% of post-surgical differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) patients with high serum thyroglobulin (tg) and negative 131i whole-body scan (wbs) have poor prognosis due to recurrent or metastatic lesions after radioactive iodine treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of 18f-fdg pet/ct scan in dtc patients with high seru...

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) coexisting with ectopic thyroid is rare. Here we report a case of RTH with ectopic thyroid. A ten-year-old girl had been misdiagnosed as congenital hypothyroidism and treated with levothyroxine since she was born. Ten-year follow-up showed that the elevated thyrotropin was never suppressed by levothyroxine and no signs indicating hyperthyroidism or hypothyroi...

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is extremely rare in the thyroid glands, and only seven cases of lung carcinoma metastasizing to thyroid tumors have been reported in the literature. We report another two cases of lung carcinoma metastasizing to thyroid neoplasms and review of the literature. The first case was a 64-year-old man presenting with neck mass, hoarseness, and easy choking for 2 months. Ima...

The ectopic thyroid gland is a rare entity which is mostly found along the line of descent of the thyroid gland. Most of the patients present with midline swelling and usually seek medical attention. Dual ectopic thyroid gland is even rarer. The clinical examination and different imaging modalities establish its diagnosis. Radionuclide studies are highly sensitive and specific in demonstrating ...

Distant metastases of a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is rare, and usually involves the lung or the bones. Adrenal metastasis of a PTC has been described only in three patients. We describe a 74-year-old woman with adrenal metastasis of a PTC, detected with a total body iodine scan and a PET-CT scan.

Context The presence of differentiated thyroid cancer in mature cystic teratomas in the ovaries is rare, and usually incidentally found on surgical pathology specimens. We present a case of simultaneous intrathyroidal thyroid cancer and thyroid cancer within a struma ovarii, presenting specific diagnostic challenges. Case Description A 55-year-old woman had an intrathyroidal, encapsulated 1.2...

Background: Thyroid nodule, goiter, thyroiditis, and thyroid cancer are all common conditions that may have a negative impact on normal function. Objective: Determine how FNAC correlation various imaging modalities contribute to the diagnosis of gland diseases. Patients Methods: Al-Hussein University Hospital's outpatient departments (OPD) for problems saw 100 participants research. All patient...
