RE: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation in a Patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report

چکیده
Dear Editor: I read with great interest the case report by Sun et al. (1), entitled "Papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with radiofrequency ablation in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report," which was published in the Korean Journal of Radiology (KJR), July 2016. The authors presented a subcentimetic papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by radiofrequency ablation in an inoperable condition. In the case report, a 52-year-old woman had 9 mm sized papillary carcinoma in the right thyroid gland, which showed an intrathyroidal location with no lymph node enlargement on ultrasound. She was not a candidate for thyroid surgery owing to an underlying medical condition,

The standard therapy for thyroid cancer is total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by the administration of radioactive iodine for remnant ablation or residual disease. Patients with radioiodine therapy are predisposed to second malignant neoplasms in organs such as central nervous system (CNS), breast, prostate, kidney, bone marrow, salivary gland, and digestive tract. Exposure to carcinog...
متن کاملPapillary Carcinoma of Thyroid Gland in a Patient Treated with Recombinant Growth Hormone
The first successful treatment of growth hormone (GH) deficient children with GH extracted from human pituitary was introduced during late 1950's. The subsequent availability and use of recombinant GH (rhGH) for different clinical conditions raised the question of whether this new therapeutic modality increases the risk of certain conditions such as leukemia or malignancy. Herein, we report o...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed types of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid. It is stated that lung is the most common site of metastasis followed by bone. The incidence of paranasal sinus (PNS) metastasis is fairly uncommon in case of thyroid carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, no case of metastatic PTC to nasal cavity has been reported. In thi...
