The occurrence of thyroid nodules increases with age [1]. In geographical areas with a normal iodine intake, approximately 10% of the population develops a palpable thyroid nodule. This proportion increases in areas with insufficient iodine intake. Non-palpable thyroid nodules are usually diagnosed by a neck echography carried out for various reasons and are 5-10 folds more common than palpable...
Thyroid nodule is one of the most common endocrine diseases in the world; it occurs in 4-7% of the general population. Depending on the method of discovery, 4-8% nodules are discovered using palpation, 10-41% with ultrasound (US), and 50% through autopsy where only 20% or less of cold thyroid nodules are caused by cancerous lesions. The aim of this study was to assess US as supporting modality ...
A thyroid nodule is a very common condition which can be found among 40 to 50% of general population on ultrasound. Identification of thyroid cancer cells through fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a gold standard for diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Among all thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer occupied five to ten percent, and thus a large number of patients, even with benign thyroid nodules, are recomm...
CONTEXT Endemic area and iodine supplementation may affect the pathogenesis of the nodule which commonly occurs in endemic thyroid enlargement due to iodine deficiency. AIMS To establish pathological changes in solitary solid and larger nodule of the thyroid in endemic area. SETTING AND DESIGN Retrospective study in Surgical Department of University Hospital. METHODS AND MATERIAL We deter...
BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are commonly found on medical imaging studies, such as Computerized Tomography (CT) scans, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) scans, or other imaging studies, which are performed for another reason (ie. the test is ordered without knowledge of the presence of a thyroid nodule). When thyroid nodules are detected on imaging studies...
Thyroid benign lymphoepithelial lesions are rare in adults, reported as associated with thyroiditis or adjacent to tumours. Here we report a unique case of a thyroid solid nodule with benign lymphoepithelial morphology. A 56-year-old woman presented with a thyroid nodule increasing in size. Thyroid function was normal. On the surgical resection specimen, in addition to a 2-cm follicular adenoma...
A 68-year-old woman with solid/trabecular follicular thyroid carcinoma inside of an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule is described in this paper. The patient was referred to our clinic for swelling of the neck and an increased pulse rate. Ultrasonography showed a slightly hypoechoic nodule in the right lobe of the thyroid. Despite suppressed TSH levels, the (99m)Tc-pertechnetate scan show...
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea. When systemic symptoms such as diarrhea occur, distal metastasis often exists. The most common clinical presentation of MTC is solitary thyroid nodule. It was uncommon that chronic diarrhea as initial presentation of MTC without visible thyroid nodule. A 66-year-old woman suffered from watery diarrhea for 4 months. Irritable...
Thyroid hormone biosynthetic defects are rare causes of congenital hypothyroidism. Although, initial presentations are usually diffuse goiter and hypothyroidism, subsequently they may develop thyroid nodules and or thyroid cancer. We describe a case of hypothyroidism due to dyshormonogenesis whose one of the previously solid nodules degenerates into a large cyst. A 22-year-old male was referred...
Thyroid carcinoma is not uncommon in patients with hyperthyroidism. However, the risk of malignancy in patients with autonomously functioning nodules continues to be underestimated in clinical practice, possibly due to the belief of rare co-existence of a "hot" nodule and thyroid carcinoma. We present hereby a man with hyperthyroidism due to a thyroid toxic adenoma, who was subjected to surgery...
