Background. False-positive pulmonary radioactive iodine uptake in the followup of differentiated thyroid carcinoma has been reported in patients with certain respiratory conditions. Patient Findings. We describe a case of well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation therapy. Postablation radioiodine whole body scan and subsequent diagno...

Thyroid squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. At present, it limited to case reports. Since the thyroid follicular epithelium non-squamous epithelium, how primary (SCC) of occurs still a controversial issue. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) considered be an independent risk factor for cancer, under basis HT, tumor cells evolve and develop papillary (PTC), particularly de-differentiate into SCC elus...

BACKGROUND In well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, predictors of future positivity of stimulated thyroglobulin (>2 microg/L) after initial radioactive iodine treatment are not known. METHODS In a retrospective study, we used logistic regression analysis to determine whether postoperative stimulated thyroglobulin measurements and pathologic stage independently predict future stimulated thyro...

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is an aggressive variant of thyroid cancer that in most cases arises from anaplastic transformation of terminally differentiated thyroid carcinomas. This process usually occurs in the thyroid or cervical lymph nodes. Anaplastic transformation in distant metastatic sites is exceedingly rare, only previously documented in a few case reports. We report a rare case of a...

We report three cases of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma-like thyroid carcinoma as a novel clinicopathologic entity possibly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. A 15-year-old female, a 19-year-old male, and a 21-year-old male presented with primary thyroid carcinoma. Two of the patients had associated tuberous sclerosis complex. Macroscopically, the carcinomas showed invasive growth. H...

Vascular invasion is characteristic for follicular carcinoma of the thyroid and distant metastasis common. Spinal cord compression due to metastases differentiated as initial presentation an extremely rare condition. We report a case asymptomatic metastatic cancer which presented with spinal compression. This patient metastasized narrowing airway posed many challenges anesthetist.

The contemporary management of well-differentiated thyroid cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach involving primary care physicians, endocrinologists, surgeons, pathologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and sometimes radiologists and oncologists for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term surveillance. Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma includes papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma...

Thyroid carcinoma accounts for the majority of deaths from endocrine cancers. Although effective therapies exist for well differentiated tumors, the treatment options for poorly differentiated and anaplastic tumors are much less effective. In the present study we demonstrate that the thyroglobulin (Tg) promoter can be used to direct specific expression of either luciferase or thymidine kinase i...

Thyroid hormone producing thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon cause of thyrotoxicosis. A patient with extensive hepatic metastases from well-differentiated carcinoma is presented. Administration of amiodarone for atrial fibrillation led to the development of hyperthyroidism. Precipitation of thyrotoxicosis by iodine-containing compounds in patients with thyroid carcinoma is rare. The relatively hi...
