BACKGROUND Carcinoma of the thyroid gland is one of the most commonly encountered endocrine malignancies. Papillary carcinoma is the most common histological type, and its spread is usually lymphatic. About 30-80% patients with papillary carcinoma develop lymphatic metastases. CASE REPORT We present here the case of a 70-year-old female patient who had undergone total thyroidectomy 10 years p...

BACKGROUND Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum is a well-known entity in women. The tumour is derived from the extraovarian mesothelium and the pelvis and lower abdomen mesothelia. The treatment strategies are similar to ovarian serous papillary carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A case of primary serous papillary carcinoma of the peritoneum in a man is presented. The patient, 5...

INTRODUCTION The term "intracystic papillary ductal carcinoma in situ" has recently changed and is now more appropriately referred to "intracystic papillary carcinoma". Intracystic papillary carcinoma in men is an extremely rare disease with only a few case presentations published in the literature so far. CASE PRESENTATION We discuss a case of a 44-year-old Caucasian man with an intracystic ...

Polymorphisms of DNA repair genes, X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) might contribute to individual susceptibility to different types of cancers. We analyzed the relationship between XRCC1 polymorphisms and the risk of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a Korean sample. A hospital-based case-control study was performed in 111 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients and 100 normal contro...

type of midline neck masses in children. Though usually benign, 1% of cysts may undergo neoplastic change. The most common histological subtype is papillary carcinoma (80%) followed in order of frequency by mixed follicular-papillary, squamous, follicular, anaplastic, and hurthle-cell carcinoma (1). The synchronous occurrence of thyroglossal duct carcinoma and thyroid carcinoma in the thyroid g...

Well-differentiated papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas are the two most common types of thyroid cancer. Although cancerous cells in both types phenotypically resemble the epithelial follicular cell, the tumors display different histological characteristics and clinical outcomes. Molecular defects contributing to the separate development pathways remain largely unclear. We evaluated gen...

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of renal malignancy and it originates from the renal tubular epithelium. Due to the diversity in the histopathological and molecular characteristics, it is typically subclassified into five different categories. Papillary renal cell carcinoma is one subclassification and it includes two variants: sporadic and hereditary. Although the hereditary form ...

The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine in body. Among functions of this gland, we can mention secretion hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), whose release occurs by control stimulating hormone (TSH). Furthermore, it involved calcium metabolism, through calcitonin. Thyroid cancer rare (about 1% all neoplasms), however most frequent among malignant neoplasms. Papillary carcinoma...

In this article, we present a case of diffuse follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma with pituitary metastasis, which is rare cause metastasis. The an uncommon carcinoma. A 74-year-old male was presented weakness, fatigue, and decreased appetite. patient diagnosed secondary adrenal insufficiencies. Imaging revealed mass suprasellar extension, right cavernous sinus invasion, optic chiasm...

Thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common developmental abnormality encountered in the neck. Carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is a rare occurrence, and was first reported by Ucherman in 1910, the most common being papillary carcinoma. The incidence of primary papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal duct cyst is less then1%. We report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma occurr...
