OBJECTIVE Riedel's thyroiditis is a chronic fibrosing disorder of unknown etiology often associated with "multifocal fibrosclerosis." IgG4-related systemic disease is characterized by IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration and fibrosis throughout many organs. We hypothesized that Riedel's thyroiditis is part of the IgG4-related systemic disease spectrum. METHODS We searched our institution's patholog...

There are some reports about the association of autoimmune thyroid diseases with human T-cell leukemia virus type-I (HTLV-I) infection. The objective of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence rates of antithyroid antibodies in HTLV-I carriers and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) patients in Mashhad, northeastern Iran, in order to determine any associati...

We report a case of Coccidioides thyroiditis in an HIV-infected patient with a history of recent Coccidioides pneumonia but with negative Coccidioides serology determined by enzyme immunoassay at presentation. Diagnosis of Coccidioides thyroiditis was made based on histopathologic examination and culture of thyroid abscess material obtained by fine-needle aspiration biopsy.

Background and Aim: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent types of cancer. The present study aimed to investigate clinicopathological features surgical treatment papillary in Hashimoto thyroiditis. Patients Methods: A cross-sectional was carried out on 486 patients department Mardan Medical Complex, Pakistan from March 2020 2023. All were categorized into two groups: Group-I (...

In preclinical studies, which are conducted to study the therapeutic effectiveness and pharmacological safety of biologically active compounds for correction autoimmune thyroiditis, various experimental models this pathology used in experiment.
 work, we analyzed thyroiditis that have been past fifty years. Such an analysis made it possible choose most optimal model thyroid gland as well c...

Introduction. Inconsistent results exist in the literature regarding hypothesis statement suggesting an increased likelihood of documenting papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) surgical specimens with changes compatible chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. Existing meta-analyses have included studies that are not methodologically comparable and do propose clear sources bias, thus, this is justificatio...

A 31 year old woman with history of end stage AIDS was admitted with a 10 day history of malaise, fever, and chills. She also gave a history of palpitations, heat intolerance, and tremors. Her physical examination revealed tachycardia, a temperature of 102°F, and an exquisitely tender thyroid gland, which was three times the normal size. The gland was symmetrical, hard in texture, and without a...

a 29-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) presented with palpitation and neck swelling. initial sonography showed an ill-defined hypoechoic lesion in the right thyroid gland, mentioning subacute thyroiditis. the patient received conservative care for one week. however, her neck swelling worsened and she complained of dyspnea. follow up sonography showed marked enlargement of b...
