Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis of the Thyroid with Multiple Cervical Lymph Node Involvement Accompanying Metastatic Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma
A 37-year-old male case was admitted with goiter. Ultrasonography of thyroid showed a 5 cm cystic nodule in the left lobe with a 1.5 cm solid component. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed atypia of undetermined significance or follicular lesion. The patient was operated on. The pathological diagnosis was reported as papillary thyroid carcinoma. The immunohistochemical examination showed mul...
متن کاملAssociation between Pituitary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Here we report a case of panhypopituitarism caused by pituitary Langerhans cell hystocitosis (LCH) in a 22-year-old woman affected by papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Although several cases of the coexistence of PTC and LCH within thyroid tissue have been described in relative literature, in this case, the patient presented a unique suprasellar retrochiasmatic histocytosis localization which,...
متن کاملSquamous Cell Differentiation in Metastatic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Metaplastic
Squamous cell differentiation (SCD) may occur in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) only at metastatic sites. We have studied cytokeratin CK5/6 and P63 along with TTF1 (thyroid transcription factor 1) and B-Raf (V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1) immunohistochemical expression in neck lymph node metastases of thyroid PTC showing SCD. The patient (21-years) presented wit...
متن کاملThyroid involvement in pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
A 21-year-old male discovered that his thyroid gland was becoming enlarged in October 2008. Two months later, chest radiography during a routine physical examination revealed an abnormal shadow and he was referred to our hospital for a complete medical examination. He had experienced asthma-like wheezing about once a month for the past 2 years but he was not receiving any medication. He had smo...
متن کاملLangerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid complicated by papillary thyroid carcinoma
RATIONALE Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) involves mainly the skin and bone and rarely the thyroid. Meanwhile, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common subtype of thyroid cancer. Both LCH and PTC could make the thyroid enlarged and hypermetabolic. The coincidence of these 2 events in a patient is rare, and this paper aimed to report such case. PATIENT CONCERNS A 40-year-old ma...
