Backround. Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a developmental abnormality of the thyroid gland. Due to embryological remnants of thyroid tissue located in the TDC, the same malignant tumors that develop in the thyroid gland can also develop in the TDC. Methods. We present the unique case of a 39-year-old female with simultaneous de novo papillary carcinoma in a TDC and the thyroid gland. Results. ...

Background: Thyroid papillary carcinoma is the most common clinical thyroid malignancy. Autophagy is related to the occurrence and development of tumors. However, there is no report about the correlation between autophagy protein expression and biological characteristics of thyroid papillary carcinoma and lymph node metastasis. Therefore, the authors studied the relationship between autophagy p...

Parotid metastasis originated from papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare, especially as the first presentation of the disease. We present a 70-year-old man with a history of painless swelling in the right side of the neck. He was evaluated for parotid tumor and histopathologic examination revealed a poorly differentiated carcinoma in the parotid gland with suspicion of thyroid origin. T...

OBJECTIVE: We describe a new case of incidental renal papillary carcinoma. We perform a bibliogra-phic review. METHODS: The papillary renal cell carcinoma is a variant of renal carcinoma. They classify in two subtypes that have relation with their prognosis. We presented one case of re-nal papillary carcinoma in a male of 76 years, play-acting as severe hydronephrosis. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: We de...

We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast who presented with a palpable mass, one year after a negative mammogram. Sonography showed a complex mass and ultrasound-guided aspiration cytology was negative, and the patient returned 6 months later with a recurrent mass. Excisional biopsy revealed invasive intracystic papillary carcinoma. Intracyst...

a 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with loomci of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. the patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. in thi...

Surgical strategy for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma invading the trachea: a comparison of tracheal sleeve resection end-to-end anastomosis and window tracheocutaneous fistula

Although branchial cleft cysts are common, papillary carcinomas arising from them are rare. Here we report a 41-year-old woman with papillary carcinoma originating from a right lateral branchial cleft cyst without any evidence of a papillary carcinoma in the thyroid gland. The patient underwent right lateral neck dissection followed by total thyroidectomy. We then confirmed papillary carcinoma ...
