Thyrotoxicosis with concomitant thyroid cancer

Diffuse Sclerosing Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with Concomitant Thyrotoxicosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSVPC) is a rare variant of conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma which was first reported in 1985. It appears to be more aggressive than conventional type of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We present a case in a 14-year-old girl who initially presented with thyrotoxicosis and was later diagnosed with DSVPC on subsequent ultrasound and...

Thyrotoxicosis and thyroid storm.

Thyroid storm represents the extreme manifestation of thyrotoxicosis as a true endocrine emergency. Although Grave's disease is the most common underlying disorder in thyroid storm, there is usually a precipitating event or condition that transform the patient into life-threatening thyrotoxicosis. Treatment of thyroid storm involves decreasing new hormone synthesis, inhibiting the release of th...

Oncocytic Adrenocortical Neoplasm with Concomitant Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Adrenal oncocytoma (AO) is an extremely rare adrenocortical neoplasm and little is known about its malignant potential, secretory properties, and hereditary origin. We present the case of a benign AO with concomitant incidentally found papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and review similar cases in the literature. Immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing (NGS) were performed. A 66-year-ol...

Thyroid Evaluation in a Patient with Thyrotoxicosis with Bedside Ultrasound

A 37-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) for palpitations, anxiety, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed a pulse of 104 beats/min, blood pressure 140/92 mmHg, respirations 12 breaths/min, and oral temperature 99 F. Neck examination was notable for a diffusely enlarged thyroid without discrete nodules. Bedside emergency ultrasound (EUS) was performed with a high fre...
