Introduction: Hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT) is an unusual thyroid neoplasm that was first described by Carney in 1987.Many cytological and histological features of such tumors may be mistaken for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) and Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC).This can lead to overtreatment like total thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection. Here, we present a rare case of hyalinizi...

Background: Clinically solitary thyroid nodule may be defined as a goitre which on clinical examination appears to be a single nodule in an otherwise normal gland. In reality, solitary thyroid nodule is not a single disease process but a constellation of processes encountered in a variety of clinical diseases such as dominant nodule of a multi nodular goitre, true adenoma, malignancy, thyroidit...

Although the association of thyroid disorders with tuberculosis has been known for a long time, the diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis is rare. Differential diagnosis can be very difficult without fine needle aspiration. The clinical course of the disease may resemble toxic goiter or acute thyroiditis or may follow a subacute or chronic pattern without specific symptomatology. We describe a 49-y...

The authors report an uncommon finding of hot nodule on Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate thyroid scan in three patients with hypothyroidism. Data indicate that hypothyroidism is secondary to Hashimoto's disease (HD). There was a concordant aspect on I-131 scan in two; a nodular discrepancy (cold nodule with I-131) was associated with the highest microsomal antibodies titer. The findings of thyroid s...

A patient initially presented with an autonomously functioning right thyroid nodule and transient hyperthyroidism which lasted for a few months. Several months after resolution of thyrotoxicosis, the patient had a recurrent episode of hyperthyroidism and was found to have a left hot nodule. The right hyperfunctioning nodule had become cold on scintigraphy, and its aspiration revealed haemorrhag...

Coexistence between thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism is rare, most of the nodular lesions from which a malignant tumor documented in this group patients correspond to cold nodules. Justified by increasing number reports literature about tumors diagnosed hot nodules, systematic review was carried out determine possible factors associated with diagnosis nodules hyperthyroidism. The results sugg...

Although fine-needle aspiration cytology is considered to be the reference method for evaluating thyroid nodules, the results are inaccurate in approximately 10-30% of cases. Several studies have attempted to predict the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules based on age, nodularity, thyrotropin values, thyroid autoimmune disease, hot/cold nodule status, and ultrasound parameters. However, no c...
