background and objectives: thyroid gland because of its superficial location is amenable to direct physical examination. clinical assessment of thyroid lesions by means of physical examination, thyroid scans and ultrasonography is not completely reliable. fine needle aspiration cytology (fnac) is the most cost-effective, safe and an initial diagnostic test in the pre-operative evaluation of thy...
An 80-year-old female presented with an incidental finding of a retrosternal mass on magnetic resonance imaging. Ultrasound demonstrated a mediastinal lesion adjacent to but separate from the inferior pole of the right thyroid lobe. Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated colloid and follicular cells. At surgery, the right thyroid lobe was found to be normal. A discrete 5 cm nodule was fou...
In a 59-year-old patient, thyroid follicular cancer was diagnosed in two right-sided toxic thyroid nodules, which had presented clinically as unilateral thyroid autonomy. In addition, the patient had histologically proven lung metastases of thyroid cancer; however, these failed to exhibit iodine uptake and were resistant to radioiodine treatment. The functional activity of the thyroid nodules p...
Intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma is extremely rare clinical entity with potentially multiple diagnostic pitfalls. We report a case of 40-year-old man presented with classical manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism, severe hypercalcemia and profoundly increased serum parathyroid hormone level. Neck ultrasonography demonstrated multinodular goiter with predominant 34 mm nodule in left ...
Metastatic neoplasms of the thyroid are uncommon when compared to primary tumors of the gland. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a highly aggressive tumor of the urinary system. It can spread all over the body. Isolated solitary metastases of RCC to the thyroid are very rarely observed. A 64-year-old woman with a history of left radical nephrectomy for RCC, was referred to our clinic with palpable ...
background: clinically frank thyroid nodules are common and believed to be present in 4% to 10% of the adult population in the united states. in the current literature, fine needle aspiration biopsies are considered to be the milestone of a model which helps the physician decide whether a certain thyroid nodule needs a surgical approach or not. a considerable fact is that sensitivity and specif...
OBJECTIVE Thyroid nodule measurement using ultrasonography (US) is widely performed in various clinical scenarios. The purpose of this study was to evaluate inter-observer variation in US measurement of the volume and maximum diameter of thyroid nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 73 consecutive patients with 85 well-defined thyroid nodules greater than 1 cm in th...
INTRODUCTION Thyroid nodules are the most common endocrine condition treated by surgeons. The main purpose of the evaluation of a thyroid nodule is to rule out a carcinoma. Medical decisions concerning thyroid nodules are highly influenced by subjective beliefs. OBJECTIVE To assess the subjective probabilities of malignancy that are assigned to the clinical characteristics of a patient with a...
BACKGROUND Rapid growth of thyroid nodules is described as being associated with thyroid cancer. The objective of the study was to determine how the growth rate of thyroid nodules during follow-up is associated with the risk of thyroid cancer. METHODS Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing thyroid surgery for nodular disease and a repetitive preoperative ultrasound work-up of at least ...
The prevalence of nodular thyroid disease increases with aging, especially during sixth decade of the life, 5-10% of the general population have one or more palpable thyroid nodules. Nodular goiter is more common in persons living in areas with iodine deficiency. Cold thyroid nodules have been estimated 2.5 times more frequent in iodine areas in comparison with the iodine sufficient areas. ...
