Metastasis into a thyroid neoplasm-tumor-to-tumor metastasis-is exceedingly rare. We describe the 28th documented case of a tumor metastatic to a thyroid neoplasm and review the literature on tumor-to-tumor metastasis involving a thyroid neoplasm as recipient. All cases showed a recipient thyroid neoplasm with an abrupt transition to a morphologically distinct neoplasm. Metastasis into primary ...

aim: thyroid scan with sestamibi is used for evaluation of thyroid nodules with the aim of increasing specificity before surgery. in this study we evaluated the role of sestamibi thyroid scan in candidates for thyroid surgery. methods and patients: during two years, 37 patients were studied with solitary thyroid nodules, referred for thyroid surgery due to malignant or suspicious fnab results (...

background: within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced x-ray emission. the pixe has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. materials and methods: th...

Four patients are described in whom a follicular carcinoma developed following thyroidectomy for a benign follicular neoplasm. It is possible that the initial thyroid neoplasm was a well- differentiated follicular carcinoma which was microscopically indistinguishable from a benign adenoma. Realizing this pathologic pitfall in thyroid diagnosis, the need for meticulous examination of the pa...

Thyroid malignant neoplasm develops from follicular or parafollicular thyroid cells. A higher proportion of anaplastic thyroid cancer has an adverse prognosis. New drugs are being used in clinical treatment. However, for advanced thyroid malignant neoplasm such as anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, the major impediment to successful control of the disease is the absence of effective therapies. Oncol...

follicular thyroid carcinoma (ftc) is the second most common type of thyroid cancer after papillary carcinoma. it usually grows slowly and is clinically indolent; but rarely, its aggressive forms with distant metastases can occur. we report here an uncommon case of bilateral orbital metastasis of ftc. a 70-year-old woman presented with bilateral exophtalmus and past medical history of thyroid n...

(a) This Statement of Principles is about malignant neoplasm of the thyroid gland and death from malignant neoplasm of the thyroid gland.

in 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mtc-mibi scan is performed. the nodules are divided to hot (10), warm (12) and cold (8). fna reported papillary ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary ca and 3 benign lesions). all the nodules with no mibi uptake...
