Objective: To determine the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology in the management of solitary thyroid nodule. Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the ENT Department, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009. A total of 60 patients presenting with solitary thyroid nodule were included i...

Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver is a rare benign lesion; only 22 cases have been reported to date. An unsolved problem in treating these lesions involves the difficulties in differential diagnosis; specific features of necrotic nodule of the liver in preoperative examinations have not been identified. Here, we report a patient with resected solitary necrotic nodule of the liver with preop...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of an incidental solitary renal cancer cell (RCC) thyroid metastatic nodule treated by thyroidectomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 53 year male presented with a solitary, asymptomatic thyroid nodule. He was treated with left nephrectomy 1 year before for a RCC. Radiological standard follow-up was negative for secondary lesions but ultrasound (US) 12 months after surg...

Metastases in the thyroid gland are very rare. Carcinoma lung is one of the tumours, which may metastasize to the thyroid. We report a 60-year-old lady with intrathyroid metastasis presenting as a solitary thyroid nodule. Fine needle aspiration cytology from the nodule showed features of metastatic adenocarcinoma. Further detail evaluation revealed primary lung adenocarcinoma with secondaries t...

Introduction localized thyroid enlargement with rest of the thyroid apparently normal is clinically defined as solitary nodule of thyroid. STN is seen in 4-6% of the adult individuals. Fortunately the likelihood that a single thyroid nodule is malignant is approximately 5%. Nodules decreasing in size have negligible risk of cancer and no treatment is required. However, enlarging solid nodules h...

Solitary pulmonary nodule corresponds to a common radiographic finding, which is frequently detected incidentally. The investigation of this entity remains complex, since characteristics of benign and malignant processes overlap in the differential diagnosis. Currently, many strategies are available to evaluate solitary pulmonary nodules with the main objective of characterizing benign lesions ...

In this paper we describe all gradings by a finite abelian group G on the following Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p = 2: sln(F ) (n not divisible by p), son(F ) (n ≥ 5, n = 8) and spn(F ) (n ≥ 6, n even).
