BACKGROUND፡ The thyroid, along with the breast, lung, and bone marrow, is among most radiosensitive organs. This study aims to assess rate of unnecessary radiation exposure thyroid gland in patients who had chest Computed Tomography (CT) at a large teaching hospital. 
 METHOD: Hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional on 1,306 underwent CT from July 2018 January 2019. Thyroid inclusion ...

The following conclusions may be drawn from the experiments presented in this article. 1. Excessive meat diet develops hypertrophy of the thyroid gland. A definite hypertrophy of the parathyroid gland under the same conditions has not been established. A meat diet does not develop hypertrophy of the thyroid gland when insufficiency of the parathyroid gland exists at the same time, even if no cl...

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. ...

Abstract. A case of a female, 10-year-old rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) with spontaneous chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is presented. At necropsy, the thyroid gland was slightly enlarged, up to 2 mm large, round, confluent, beige foci on surface both lobes. Histopathologic features resembled human Hashimoto's thyroiditis: multifocally, interstitium infiltrated by lymphocytes and variably siz...

Introduction: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid gland is one of the rarest types of all reported thyroid malignancies worldwide. It is very aggressive in nature and carries a poor prognosis. The surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy is the most recommended treatment despite its poor reported outcome.  Case Report: A 74-year-old woman presented wit...

OBJECTIVES There is limited endosonographic literature regarding thyroid gland pathology, which is frequently visualized during upper endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Our objective was to assess the prevalence of benign and malignant thyroid lesions encountered during routine upper EUS within a cancer center setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data were prospectively collected and retrospectively ...

The thyroid gland, a highly vascular endocrine gland, is composed of two lateral lobes connected by a narrow median isthmus thus giving an 'H' shaped appearance to the gland. A wide range of morphological variations and developmental anomalies of the thyroid gland have been reported in the literature. In our study, on the morphometric features of the thyroid gland it was found that, 6 out of 41...
