Breast cancer coexisting with lymphoma is a rare condition with various diagnostic and therapeutic implications. In this report, we describe the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with simultaneous ductal carcinoma in situ of the right breast, and follicular lymphoma involving an inguinal lymph node and the left breast. The patient underwent local excision and radiotherapy for ...

BACKGROUND S100A8 plays a role in various functions of myeloid cells by forming a heterocomplex with S100A9. S100A8 and S100A9 are also known to be overexpressed in certain species of carcinomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, the protein expression of S100A8 as well as that of S100A9 was investigated in thyroid tumors. RESULTS All of the undifferentiated carcinomas were immunopositiv...

Galectin-3 was primarily reported to be a marker distinguishing thyroid adenomas and carcinomas. To check the usefulness of anti-galectin-3 immunohistochemistry, we studied its expression in 42 follicular adenomas and 42 follicular carcinomas. Eight cases out of 42 follicular adenomas (19%) presented focal or diffuse galectin-3 immunoexpression. From 42 cases of follicular carcinomas, six cases...

BACKGROUND Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is often accompanied by lymph node metastasis (LNM), compared with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). Sialic acid is carried by fibronectin (sFN) as the antigen of monoclonal antibody (MoAb) JT-95 detected in 90% of PTC, and a few cases of FTC. PATIENTS AND METHODS JT-95 staining was performed in 9 PTC and 20 follicular type tumors to investigate ...

Renal carcinoma cell is responsible for 3e4% of all neoplasms and 80e85% of malignant tumors of the renal cortex. The most frequent histological subtypes are: clear cells (approximately 75%), papillaries (10%), chromophobes (5%), oncocytoma (8%), angiomyolipoma (<1%). Among the less common histological types are the medullary carcinomas (1%), collecting ducts (1%), Xp11 translocation (<1%) and ...

Multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (mPTC) comprises about 20-30% of PTC. In mPTC, individual tumor foci can be identical or frequently composed of different histological types including follicular, solid, tall-cell or conventional patterns. We report a case of mPTC consisting of one encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) and three conventional PTCs in a 44-ye...

Thyroid carcinoma is uncommon but accounts for roughly 95% of all cancers of the endocrine system (1). The "well-differentiated" thyroid tumors include the papillary, follicular, and Hurthle cell subtypes. Although the management of these tumor types generally is similar, important diagnostic and clinical differences do exist (2). We present a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma with spinal me...

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is commonest cancer in with an increasing incidence over past few decades. A subset papillary carcinomas was re-classified into “Non-invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm papillary-like nuclear features” (NIFTP) late 2017, due to excellent prognosis they exhibit. Identification NIFTP important because surgical management and follow up similar foll...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has long been diagnosed based on its unique nuclear features (PTC-N); however, significant observer discrepancies have been reported in the diagnosis of encapsulated follicular patterned lesions (EnFPLs), because the threshold of PTC-N is subjective. An equivocal PTC-N may often occur in non-invasive EnFPLs and benign/malignant disagreements often create seriou...
