Clinical value and limitation of thyroid imaging with 201T1C1 were studied. The positive rate of 201T1 was 82% in 22 malignant thyroid lesions and 46% in 37 benign lesions. A 201T1 positive image was obtained when a lesion was parenchymatous and a 201T1 negative one when it was cystic, filled with colloid or hyaline and had massive necrosis or bleeding. Thus 201T1 Cl localized in a parenchymato...

A 54-year-old man was admitted to the hospital presenting with a 3-month history of sclerosing dermal lesion in the external genitalia. A scrotal skin biopsy revealed a poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma, immunohistochemically positive for cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and for thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), and negative for CK20. One month after admission, he died of respiratory failure. At au...

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for diagnosis of thyroid nodules. FNAC a cost-effective procedure that provides specific rapidly with minimal complications. Aims was to compare efficacy Clinical diagnosis, ultrasonography (USG), one another and histopathological examination (HPE) diagnosis.Methods: It prospective comparative stu...

Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common cancer, following papillary carcinoma. Metastasis to orbital rim from FTC very rare. We recently experienced a case of with metastasis in 74-year-old woman, who initially presented huge mass and an asymptomatic solitary lesion. The lesion was suspected be separate disease entity such as lymphoma preoperative imaging, but bone finally ...

Thyroid incidentaloma is defined as a new identified thyroid lesion occasionally detected during imaging studies. Incidence of thyroid incidentalomas is relatively rare in patients with lymphoma. Because of high rate of malignancy, these lesions with high intensity focal 18 FDG uptake detected on positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) should undergo to biopsy regardless ...

A 68-year-old man had a rapidly growing, painless neck mass, thought to be nodular goiter. Ultrasonography showed a giant, heterogeneous mass occupying the middle and superior poles and protruding outside of the left thyroid lobe. The results of the thyroid function tests were normal. Thyroid scintigraphy revealed a large hypoactive nodule in the left thyroid lobe. Complete surgical removal of ...

Thyroid gland and thyroid cartilage infiltration in multiple myeloma (MM) are rare. Here, we discuss a patient who presented with hoarseness of voice and was found to have a hypodense lesion in right lobe of thyroid involving thyroid and cricoid cartilage. Fine-needle aspiration cytology with immunohistochemistry revealed extramedullary plasmacytoma of thyroid. MM was ruled out initially by ser...

A 39-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for invasive cervical cancer. On initial physical examination, inguinal lymph nodes, but not supraclavicular lymph nodes, were palpable. Positron emission tomography revealed multiple bone metastasis with hypermetabolic lymph nodes in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, left supraclavicular fossa, and a mild hypermetabolic nodular lesion in the left...
