We herein reported a primary pulmonary papillary carcinoma with colloid-like luminal content in the glandular cavity and classic nuclear features such as pseudo-inclusions, intranuclear grooves in the tumor cell nuclei and ground glass nuclei which closely mimics papillary thyroid carcinoma. Meanwhile, lymph node in the left pulmonary hilum was involved and showed similar features to the primar...

papillary microcarcinoma of thyroid (pmc) as a variant of papillary carcinoma less than 1 cm in size is a new clinicopathological entity, with high incidence and good prognosis. there are many differences between pmc and clinically apparent papillary thyroid carcinoma. also, there are some pmc case reports with unusual metastasis and aggressive courses. prognostic factors are age, size and morp...

BACKGROUND Prospective randomized studies aimed at evaluating the different therapeutic protocols for the treatment of papillary or follicular carcinoma are lacking at the moment. Although total thyroidectomy is widely accepted, indication to locoregional lymphadenectomy is strongly debated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients with papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma (45 papillary...

Background. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a form of thyroid cancer with high risk of cervical lymph node metastasis. Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and the predictive factors for occult ipsilateral central lymph node (CLN) metastasis in the patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods. A total of 916 PTC patients (1017 lesions) undergoing central lymph ...

Introduction: Synovial sarcoma makes up 8–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas, and constitutes 3–10% of all sarcomas occurring in the head and neck region. It shows male predominance (3:2), and the mean age of presentation is 30 years.   Case Report: A 51-year-old gentleman presented with right-sided neck swelling which had been progressively increasing in size for the past 2 years. A computed ...

Abstract Background The diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare pathologic entity. It characterized by tendency for rapid growth and higher incidence cervical lymph node distant metastases. We report an unusual presentation presented as single mass small size. Case experienced case in 30-year-old woman. preoperative findings on the cytology ultrasound were suggestive...

Metastasis to the thyroid gland is very rare. Recently, we experienced a case of thyroid metastasis from breast cancer accompanying a papillary thyroid. A 51-year-old female patient presented with a palpated lymph node on her left lateral neck. The patient had undergone a left modified radical mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and hormonal therapy 12 years prior. Ultrasonography of the neck r...

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 inop...

Introduction: The applicability of sentinel lymph node biopsy for early detection of metastasis in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still in the validation phase and under investigation, which might be due to the unpredictability of the lymphatic pattern in RCC. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel node biopsy in patients with ...

mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). we describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. the reasons to present this case are 1) because of its rarity. 2) despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node is ...
