We report a rare case of mixed medullary-follicular carcinoma and papillary carcinoma of the same thyroid. A 27-year-old Chinese female complained of a single thyroid nodule for 2-3 months. Needle aspiration revealed suspicious papillary carcinoma and thyroidectomy performed later showed mixed medullary-follicular carcinoma and papillary carcinoma of the same thyroid which was extremely rare. W...

results there were 39 cases with lymph node metastasis in 59 malignant tumors, and 0 cases in 6 benign follicular type tumors. the staining scores by jt-95 of the 39 tumors with lymph node metastasis were 5+ in eight cases and 6+ in 31 cases. on the other hand, the scores of 20 malignant tumors without lymph node metastasis were < 4+ in all of the cases. in the co-cultured assay, numerous adhes...

BACKGROUND Sensitivity and specificity data regarding positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT for surveillance of well-differentiated thyroid cancer does not evaluate subtypes separately. Papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma may have different characteristics on PET/CT imaging and so should be investigated individually. METHODS This is a systematic meta-analysis of studies using P...

Invasive papillary carcinomas of the Extrahepatic Bile Ducts (EBD) are uncommon (4-5%). The course is less aggressive than conventional adenocarcinomas of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Non-invasive and minimally invasive papillary carcinomas are even rarer, behave as in-situ carcinomas and are associated with excellent long-term prognosis. A variety of lesions of the EBD that show papillary arch...

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. ...

BACKGROUND Non-glandular papillary carcinoma of the cervix are uncommon tumours. In Uganda where cervical carcinoma is very common, no cases of papillary squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix has been reported. OBJECTIVES To ascertain the occurrence and describe the clinicopathological features of papillary squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in Uganda. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review o...

INTRODUCTION Galectin family members have been demonstrated to be abnormally expressed in cancer at the protein and mRNA level. This study investigated the levels of galectin proteins and mRNA expression in a large cohort of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and matched lymph node metastases with particular emphasis on galectin-1 and galectin-3. METHODS mRNA expression of galectin fam...

The management of breast intraductal papillary neoplasms of the breast poses a challenge for clinicians. Intraductal papillary carcinoma and papilloma resemble in their clinical features. The aim of this study was to determine whether a combination of clinical factors could be used to accurately identify intraductal papillary carcinoma. 644 patients diagnosed by breast intraductal papillary neo...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of cancer. Molecular markers papillary including BRAFT1799A mutation, RET/PTC1,3 rearrangements, and differentially expressed SFTPB (up-regulated) TFF3 (down-regulated) genes were prospectively assessed in FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy) material from nodules. We examined 73 cases, them 59 PTC (papillary carcinoma), five nodular goi...
