Background:  Hashimotochr('39')s thyroiditis can be present with a localized palpable nodule though presentation as a hyperfunction "nodule" is extremely rare.  The first case of Hashimotochr('39')s thyroiditis and hot nodule was reported in 1971 by warner. Case Presentation: We reported a 26-year-old hypothyroid woman in Hashimotochr('39')s thyroiditis background with a hyperactive thyroid no...

A 59-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma inside of an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule is described in this report. The patient was referred to our clinic because of rapid weight loss and swelling on the left side of the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid demonstrated a nonhomogeneous nodule in the lower part of an enlarged left lobe. Both 99mTc and 123I thyroid scintigraph...

UNLABELLED The malignancy risk is low in hot thyroid nodules verified by scintigraphy. We present a rare case of papillary carcinoma, initially treated as an autonomous hot nodule. Case report. A 36-year old male patient with a hot thyroid nodule and subclinical hyperthyroidism was treated with 10mCi 131 I. On admission, both 99mTc and 131 I thyroid scintigraphic imaging revealed a hot nodule a...

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 ...

In the evaluation of thyroid nodules the three major clinical concerns are malignancy, hyperfunction, and cosmetic effect. It is now well accepted that the isolated "cold" nodule is the clinical setting in which thyroid cancer most often occurs (1-2). The clinical problem most often inferred from the presence of a "hot" nodule is hyperfunction. However, the clinical course, and natural history ...

A 45-year-old female presented with symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hot nodules in the right lobe, which was diagnosed as nodular goiter by fine-needle aspiration. An anomalous thyroidectomy and difficult dissection with multiple rotations were performed around the trachea. As a remark, the pathology confirmed the presence of goiter with modular nodules (Figure 1). A macroscopic photograph show...
